AI helps Non-Experts perform heart scans in rare heart condition
NCT ID NCT07155434
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether healthcare workers without ultrasound training could use AI software to perform heart scans on people with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) who are eligible for the drug mavacamten. Participants had two scans on the same day: one by a non-specialist using the AI guidance and one by a trained sonographer. The goal was to see if the AI-assisted scans were good enough to monitor heart function, potentially making it easier for patients to get regular check-ups.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- UltraSight AI guidance software
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could allow more patients to get heart scans without needing a specialist, making monitoring easier and more accessible.
- What could go wrong
- This was a small, terminated study, so results may not be reliable. AI-guided scans may not match the quality of trained sonographers, limiting real-world use.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male and female subjects aged 18 years or over at the time of screening. 2. Willing and able to give written informed consent. 3. New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class I to III 4. Eligible to receive or currently receiving CamzyosTM per product labelling. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Emergency (non-elective) admission within 24 hours prior to participating in the study. 2. Unable to lie down as required in all the classic positions for standard TTE exam: supine on back/left decubitus. 3. Subjects who had technically difficult exam in the past, due to body habitus, upon investigator's discretion. 4. Subjects with body mass index (BMI) above 40 kg/m2. 5. Subjects experiencing a known or suspected acute cardiac event. 6. Subjects with severe chest wall deformities as per previous medical records and physical examination. 7. Subjects who have undergone pneumonectomy. 8. Subjects whose anatomy does not lend itself to yield diagnosable echocardiography clips (i.e., situs inversus with dextrocardia, single ventricle anatomy due to congenital heart defect, etc.).
