What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study is testing whether a digital stethoscope, combined with artificial intelligence, can detect two serious conditions: high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension) and a weak heart pump (low ejection fraction). About 3,850 adults will have their heart sounds and a simple 3-lead ECG recorded during a 20-minute session. The AI's findings will be compared to standard tests like echocardiograms to see if it can accurately identify these often-silent conditions, potentially enabling earlier and easier screening.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Eko CORE 500 digital stethoscope with AI algorithm
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a quick, non-invasive screening tool for pulmonary hypertension and low heart pumping, catching these conditions earlier.
What could go wrong
This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. The AI may not be accurate enough in real-world settings, and results may not apply to all patients.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

This study will enroll adult patients (18 years and older) who are undergoing clinically indicated transthoracic echocardiography or right heart catheterization. Participants must be able and willing to provide informed consent and must complete a clinical echocardiogram or right heart catheterization within 7 days before or after the study procedures. Patients who are hospitalized, unable or unwilling to provide informed consent, or who are undergoing a limited echocardiogram will be excluded.
