AI reads your Heart's electrical signals to spot hidden valve trouble
NCT ID NCT06580158
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study at Mayo Clinic is testing whether artificial intelligence can help standard electrocardiograms (ECGs) detect two common heart valve problems: aortic stenosis and diastolic dysfunction. Researchers will enroll 2000 adults aged 60 and older who are already scheduled for an ECG. If the AI flags a potential issue, participants will get a focused ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis. The goal is to see if this AI tool can improve early detection, especially in places where advanced heart imaging is not readily available.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AI-ECG Dashboard (device) and point-of-care ultrasound (diagnostic test)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could make it easier and faster to spot serious heart valve problems using a simple ECG, especially in areas with limited access to specialists.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study testing how well the AI works in real clinics. The AI may miss some cases or flag false alarms, and the ultrasound confirmation depends on image quality.
