Summary

This study is testing whether a special digital stethoscope, combined with artificial intelligence, can detect pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) by listening to heart sounds and recording a single-lead ECG. Researchers will enroll over 2,400 adults who are already scheduled for heart ultrasound or right heart catheterization. The goal is to build a database and train an algorithm to identify the condition, potentially making diagnosis faster and less invasive.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: Eko DUO digital stethoscope (device)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could provide a quick, non-invasive way to screen for pulmonary hypertension using just a stethoscope, potentially catching the disease earlier.
What could go wrong: This is an early-stage data collection and algorithm development study. The AI may not reach the desired accuracy, and results from this large but single-device study may not generalize to all patients or settings.
