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

Summary

This study tested whether an electronic stethoscope can help doctors detect narrowing (stenosis) of the arteriovenous fistula in hemodialysis patients. Researchers collected sound recordings from 30 adults on long-term dialysis over 3 months. The goal was to see if the device could predict blockages earlier than traditional methods, potentially improving dialysis outcomes.
