About this trial

The VHD PV loop study intends to assess invasive right ventricular to pulmonary artery (RV-PA) coupling in patients with valvular heart disease (VHD). Invasive RV-PA coupling is measured by using conductance catheters, the gold standard assessment for ventricular physiology. Several non-invasive parameters have been reported as surrogates for this complex physiological entity, but none of them has been tested against the gold-standard in this population. Based on this, our main objective is to assess the correlation of imaging derived RV-PA coupling in comparison to the invasive measurement.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Adult patients (≥ 18 years old);

Heart failure with moderate-to-severe or severe secondary mitral regurgitation

At least severe tricuspid regurgitation

Significant pulmonary valve stenosis and/or regurgitation

Disqualifiers

Patients under legal guardianship or protection (e.g., guardianship, trusteeship, or any other legal protection measure);

Pregnant or breastfeeding women;

Vulnerable individuals (e.g., persons deprived of liberty, adults under legal protection);

Known proximal venous occlusion of the superior or inferior vena cava territory

Trial population

The study population will include patients referred to Nantes University Hospital for the treatment of significant VHD.
