Could a digital stethoscope detect heart disease before It's too late?
NCT ID NCT07496775
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a new digital stethoscope that listens for subtle changes in heart sounds to detect coronary artery disease and valve problems earlier. Researchers will record heart sounds from 500 adults who are already scheduled for heart scans or echocardiograms. The goal is to see if this simple, non-invasive device could one day be used in GP surgeries to spot heart disease sooner.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- digital stethoscope device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a simple, non-invasive way to detect heart disease earlier in GP surgeries, potentially speeding up treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study that only collects sounds from people already scheduled for scans. It does not yet test if the device works in real-world settings or improves outcomes.
