10,000 heart patients join landmark exercise echo study
NCT ID NCT07367893
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is a large registry that will collect information from 10,000 adults who undergo exercise echocardiography (a heart ultrasound during exercise) as part of their regular care. The goal is to better understand how the heart works during exercise in people with various heart conditions, such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, and valve problems. No new treatments or procedures are being tested; the study simply observes and records data to help doctors improve risk assessment and patient care.

Who is studied
The study population includes adult patients who undergo clinically indicated exercise echocardiography as part of routine cardiovascular care. Participants are referred for evaluation of suspected or established ischemic heart disease as well as a broad range of non-ischemic heart diseases, including cardiomyopathy, heart failure, valvular heart disease, and structural heart disease. Patients are required to be able to perform exercise-based stress testing using standard treadmill or bicycle protocols and to have interpretable echocardiographic images obtained at rest and during exercise. This registry reflects a real-world clinical population in which exercise echocardiography is used for diagnostic and prognostic assessment across diverse cardiovascular conditions.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged 18 years or older * Patients referred for clinically indicated exercise echocardiography as part of routine clinical care * Patients evaluated for suspected or known ischemic heart disease, or non-ischemic heart disease, including but not limited to: Cardiomyopathy, Heart failure, Valvular heart disease, Structural heart disease * Ability to perform exercise-based stress testing using treadmill or bicycle protocols * Availability of baseline clinical data and interpretable echocardiographic images obtained during rest and exercise * Provision of informed consent, or eligibility for consent waiver in accordance with institutional review board approval Exclusion Criteria: * Inability to perform exercise testing due to non-cardiac limitations, such as severe orthopedic, neurologic, or pulmonary conditions * Poor echocardiographic image quality that does not allow meaningful interpretation of exercise-induced changes * Any condition deemed by the treating physician to make participation inappropriate or unsafe, even within an observational framework
