AI spots hidden heart valve disease in routine scans
NCT ID NCT07449130
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests an artificial intelligence (AI) model that can screen for heart valve disease using standard chest CT scans that people already get for other reasons. The goal is to see how well the AI catches moderate-to-severe cases without needing extra tests or contrast dye. About 3,000 adults will take part, and the results could help doctors find heart valve problems earlier and more easily.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥ 18 years. 2. Complete electronic health record. 3. Non-contrast chest CT performed between Nov 1, 2025 - Nov 1, 2026 in any medical context (including physical exam, outpatient, inpatient, or emergency). 4. AI-predicted moderate or severe valvular heart disease, or deemed to require clinical intervention, or selected negative cases from sampling verification. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Poor-quality non-contrast chest CT images. 2. Incomplete clinical records, involving severe deficiencies in critical diagnostic results, treatment records, imaging data, surgical records, medical history summaries, laboratory test results, or other essential medical information. 3. Presence of prosthetic valve implants, including aortic valves (mechanical valves, bioprosthetic valves), mitral valves (transcatheter edge-to-edge repair, bioprosthetic valves, mechanical valves, annuloplasty rings), tricuspid valves (TEER clipping, bioprosthetic valves, mechanical valves, annuloplasty rings), pulmonary valves (bioprosthetic valves), etc. 4. Abnormalities or conditions deemed by the investigator to warrant exclusion from the study enrollment.
