Can AI match specialists in spotting heart trouble in kids?
NCT ID NCT07503158
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will check if a fast, bedside heart ultrasound performed by emergency doctors or interpreted by artificial intelligence can accurately detect heart problems in children who already have heart disease. About 200 children aged 0-21 will be included. The results will be compared to a full echocardiogram to see how reliable the quick methods are.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Children aged 0-21 years with preexisting cardiac disease will be for inclusion if participants are either evaluated in the ED or in the cardiology setting. Eligible ED patients will undergo cardiac POCUS and AI assessment as part of participant's clinical assessment, while participants evaluated in the cardiology setting will undergo fellow-performed cardiac POCUS with concurrent AI-based image assessment as part of the study protocol.
