Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether pulmonary blood volume (PBV) derived from contrast echocardiography can serve as a non-invasive surrogate for invasive pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) during exercise. Also, to compare changes in PBV with exercise in patients with and without heart failure and pulmonary vascular disease.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients referred to the cardiac catheterization laboratory for invasive exercise right heart catheterization for evaluating exertional dyspnea. Investigators will include patients with normal or low EF, and across the spectrum of pulmonary hypertension severity.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patient inability or unwillingness to undergo echocardiography including a contrast method, or if echocardiography would, in the opinion of the investigator, somehow compromise the quality of data acquisition for the clinical case.

• Prior adverse reaction to echo contrast administration

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Pulmonary Vascular Capacitance at Rest	Capacitance is defined as the total volume of blood in an organ or region at a given pressure. Pulmonary Vascular Capacitance (ml/mmHg) will be determined by pulmonary blood volume/mean pulmonary artery pressure as measured with high fidelity micromanometer catheters in the pulmonary vasculature at rest during the standard of care exercise hemodynamic assessment.
