New study aims to fix heart risk calculators that fail women
NCT ID NCT06999317
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at health records from 1.5 million women aged 40-60 to better predict heart disease risk during and after menopause. Current risk tools often miss key factors unique to women. Researchers will use AI to analyze medical history, imaging, and device data to create personalized risk scores. The goal is to help doctors prevent heart attacks and strokes in women earlier and more accurately.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: Self-identified as female in the electronic health record (EHR). Age between 40 and 60 years at the time of data collection/index date. Availability of at least 5-6 years of retrospective data in the EHR, depending on the research objective. At least one healthcare encounter (visit, imaging, lab test, diagnosis, etc.) within the defined age range. For imaging substudies (e.g., RO3-RO5): availability of at least one relevant imaging test (e.g., DXA, digital mammography, cMRI, CCTA, US) during the age range. For signal-based analysis (RO6): presence of ECG monitoring data from implanted devices and at least 2 years of follow-up. Exclusion Criteria: Prior diagnosis of cardiovascular disease before the observation window (only applicable to specific ROs, e.g., RO2, RO4). Insufficient data quality or missing key variables needed for modeling (e.g., absence of blood pressure or lipid profile). Patients with incomplete or inconsistent records (e.g., duplicate IDs, mismatched time frames). For signal-based RO6: hospitalizations or diagnoses unrelated to cardiovascular health that may bias AI model training.
