Can a computer measure heart strain as well as a doctor during surgery?
NCT ID NCT07496424
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether new, fully automated software can measure heart muscle strain as accurately as the current manual method during heart surgery. The manual method takes about 5 minutes, which is often too slow in the operating room. The automated method takes just seconds. Researchers will enroll 70 adult heart surgery patients and compare the two measurement techniques.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If automated strain analysis proves reliable, it could speed up heart function assessment during surgery, helping doctors make faster decisions.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage observational study (70 participants) comparing measurement methods, not testing a treatment. Results may not apply to all patients or settings.
