AI and CT scans could uncover silent heart threat in AF patients
NCT ID NCT07567508
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new way to find a hidden heart condition called cardiac amyloidosis in people with atrial fibrillation (AF). Researchers will use AI to analyze EKGs and CT scans to spot early signs of the disease. About 500 adults with AF and certain warning signs will be split into two groups: one gets the new screening plus usual AF care, the other gets usual care alone. The goal is to see if the screening catches more cases of cardiac amyloidosis over two years.
