Can an AI spot hidden heart disease that doctors miss?
NCT ID NCT05139797
First seen Jul 22, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence algorithm, called EchoNet-LVH, can help identify patients who may have cardiac amyloidosis — a rare but serious condition where abnormal protein builds up in the heart. The AI analyzes routine echocardiograms for subtle signs that might be overlooked. People flagged by the algorithm are referred to a specialty clinic for further evaluation. The goal is to see if AI-guided screening leads to more new diagnoses of this underrecognized disease.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- an AI algorithm called EchoNet-LVH that analyzes echocardiograms to flag signs of cardiac amyloidosis
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this AI tool could help doctors catch a rare but serious heart condition earlier, potentially improving treatment and outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is relatively small and only includes patients already flagged by the algorithm, so results may not apply to broader populations. The AI may also produce false alarms.
