AI and Finger-Prick test could spot hidden heart failure in pacemaker patients

NCT ID NCT07372651

First seen Jan 29, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 9 times

Summary

This study aims to find a faster, cheaper way to screen for heart failure in people with pacemakers. About 1 in 3 pacemaker patients may have undiagnosed heart failure, but current detection requires a lengthy, expensive ultrasound. Researchers will test if an AI-powered handheld ultrasound and a finger-prick blood test can accurately detect heart failure, potentially making screening more accessible. The study involves 150 adults with pacemakers who do not already have heart failure.
