Can Tiny Bubbles Offer an Alternative to Catheters for Assessing Pressures Inside the Heart? Investigating Ultrasound Contrast Agents as Pressure Sensors Against Gold Standard Catheter Pressures in Cardiac Catheterisation Patients.

This study explores if tiny, safe bubbles used in heart scans can replace uncomfortable catheters for measuring heart pressures. It compares the bubble method with traditional catheter measurements in people having a heart procedure, checking if it's an accurate and easier way to detect heart problems.
