Registered outcomes3

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryObserved the Change of Pulmonary Artery Systolic Pressure (PASP) Measured by Millimeters of Mercury (mm hg) Within Certain Time Periods. This is Per Sequence and Not a Cross-over Study.Measurements recorded at Baseline, 2 minutes, 6 minutes and 10 minutes post contrast administration
Measurement of the Pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) results, which were taken from the subject in millimeters of mercury; a unit of pressure (mm hg), at Baseline and at 2 minutes, 6 minutes and 10 minutes. This is per sequence and not a cross-over study.
PrimaryObserved the Change of Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR) Measured by Wood Units Within Certain Time Periods. This is Per Sequence and Not a Cross-over Study.Measurements recorded at Baseline, 2 minutes, 6 minutes and 10 minutes post contrast administration
Measurement of the pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) results, which was taken from the subject in Wood Units, taken at Baseline and at 2 minutes, 6 minutes and 10 minutes. This is per sequence and not a cross-over study.
Secondary
Recorded Any Adverse Events From the Optison and Control Solution (5% Dextrose) Used in Subjects With Normal and Elevated Pulmonary Artery Systolic Pressure (PASP. This is Per Sequence and Not a Cross-over Study.
During the injection and catheterization procedure, and for up to 24 hours post-injection
Observe subjects with normal pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) and elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) as measured by any adverse events. The number of participants were stratified based on a screening pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP). Subjects stratified by; 11 subjects that were Normal PASP and 19 subjects that were Elevated PASP. This is per sequence and not a cross-over study.
