NCT ID NCT06155643

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This trial is testing a digital stethoscope that uses artificial intelligence to detect clinically significant heart murmurs in emergency department patients. Researchers will enroll 300 adults with symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath. The device records heart sounds and uses AI to flag abnormalities, potentially helping doctors identify valve disease earlier.

What this could lead to

If successful, this device could help emergency doctors spot serious heart valve problems more quickly, leading to faster treatment.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study (300 people) in one ER. The AI may not work as well in real-world emergency settings, and false alarms could cause unnecessary worry or tests.
