Heart report prompts may speed up specialist referrals
NCT ID NCT06816888
First seen May 22, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adding automatic reminders to heart ultrasound reports can increase the number of patients with heart valve problems who see a cardiologist within six months. About 300 patients with moderate or severe aortic stenosis or mitral regurgitation will be randomly assigned to get a standard report, a report suggesting a cardiology referral, or a report that also offers help from a specialized heart center. The goal is to see if these prompts improve referral rates and shorten wait times.
