AI vs. expert eyes: a new test for heart function measurement
NCT ID NCT07771231
First seen Aug 18, 2026 · Last updated Aug 18, 2026
Summary
This trial evaluates an AI-assisted tool that measures the heart's pumping efficiency (ejection fraction) from ultrasound clips. The AI's measurements will be compared to those made by a panel of expert cardiologists to see if they are equally accurate. The study uses previously collected, de-identified heart ultrasound images from 416 participants. If the AI proves reliable, it could offer a faster, more consistent way to assess heart health.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AI-assisted cardiac ultrasound measurement algorithm (Kosmos PLAX EF)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this AI tool could help doctors quickly and consistently measure heart function, potentially improving heart failure diagnosis and monitoring.
- What could go wrong
- The AI may not match expert accuracy in all cases, and the study uses existing clips, not real-time patients, so results may not fully reflect everyday use.
