AI heart scanner could catch silent disease in thousands
NCT ID NCT07351656
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study is testing whether combining AI-powered electrocardiograms (ECGs) with focused heart ultrasound can effectively screen for heart disease in everyday community settings. Researchers at Mayo Clinic plan to enroll 19,300 people, including teens, adults, and pregnant women. The goal is to see how accurate and practical these tools are for detecting conditions like weak heart muscle, valve problems, and high blood pressure in the lungs, compared to standard tests.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AI-Enabled Electrocardiography and Focused Cardiac Ultrasound
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a quick, accurate, and low-cost way to screen large populations for hidden heart disease, catching problems early.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early feasibility study, not a treatment trial. The AI may produce false positives or miss some conditions, and results may not apply to all groups.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
