Echocardiographic Assessment of Ventricular Strain During a Healthy Pregnancy in the First Second and Third Trimester.

Echocardiographic Assessment of Ventricular Strain During a Healthy Pregnancy in the First Second and Third Trimester.

Recruiting
20-35 years
Female
Phase N/A

Overview

Pregnancy is a physiological situation that produces transient preload and afterload changes. The heart is subjected to reversible morphological remodelings and hemodynamic and functional adaptations. The characterization and understanding of maternal cardiac function during normal pregnancy by echocardiography 2D is of clinical importance for the opportune recognition of cardiac pathology.

This study aims to investigate pregnancy-induced changes in ventricular strain in healthy pregnant women by echocardiography.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
