Summary

This study is testing whether a digital stethoscope, combined with artificial intelligence, can detect two serious conditions: high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension) and a weak heart pump (low ejection fraction). About 3,850 adults will have their heart sounds and a simple 3-lead ECG recorded during a 20-minute session. The AI's findings will be compared to standard tests like echocardiograms to see if it can accurately identify these often-silent conditions, potentially enabling earlier and easier screening.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Eko CORE 500 digital stethoscope with AI algorithm
What this could lead to: If successful, this could lead to a quick, non-invasive screening tool for pulmonary hypertension and low heart pumping, catching these conditions earlier.
What could go wrong: This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. The AI may not be accurate enough in real-world settings, and results may not apply to all patients.
