AI could take the guesswork out of exercise stress tests
NCT ID NCT07534384
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test a computer algorithm that automatically interprets cardiopulmonary exercise tests (CPETs), which measure how well the heart and lungs work during exercise. Researchers will compare the algorithm's reports to those of expert doctors to see if they agree. The study involves 600 patients and experts from multiple centers, aiming to improve consistency and confidence in test results.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to faster, more consistent interpretation of exercise tests, helping doctors diagnose heart and lung issues more reliably.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage observational study, not a treatment trial. The algorithm may not improve agreement among experts or may not work well in all clinics.

Patients referred for a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET): Inclusion Criteria: * Voluntary written informed consent of the participant or their legally authorized representative has been obtained prior to any screening procedures * At least 18 years of age at the time of signing the Informed Consent Form * Patients referred for a CPET during their standard clinical care Exclusion Criteria: \- If the participant has a disorder making it unable to perform a CPET, they must not proceed to be enrolled in the study and will be documented as a screen failure via applicable log forms in the Investigator Site File.
