AI could predict heart and artery risks before they happen
NCT ID NCT07187700
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will collect data from 1100 people with peripheral artery disease or abdominal aortic aneurysm across six European centers. Researchers will use artificial intelligence to analyze clinical data, blood samples, imaging, and wearable device information to build tools that predict disease progression and heart-related risks. The goal is to help doctors personalize treatment and reduce serious complications like heart attack or amputation.
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 AI tools that help doctors predict which patients are at high risk of complications, enabling earlier and more personalized treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study that only develops and tests prediction models, not a treatment. The AI tools may not prove accurate enough for real-world use, and results may take years to validate.

Who is studied
A total of 100 AAA patients and 100 PAD will be included per clinical center, with exeption for Asklepios Hamburg, they will solely include 100 PAD patients. This comes to a total of 1100 patients across 6 clinical centers in Europe.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria AAA: * Males/females between 40 and 90 years of age. * Males and females with AAA at inclusion, any diameter \>3 cm (or 1.5x larger than their non-dilated part of the aorta). * Include: infrarenal, juxtarenal, pararenal, suprarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms. Exclusion Criteria AAA: Patients with: * Insufficient schooling or sensorial deficits that interfere understanding informed consent. * Not able to use the VASCUL-AID mobile health app (that will be provided in Dutch, English, German, Portuguese, Serbian, Finish, Swedish languages). * Proven or highly suspected for infected, mycotic AAA * Previous AAA surgery or planned for an AAA surgery within 6 months * Ruptured AAA Inclusion Criteria PAD: * Males/females between 40 and 90 years of age. * Patients with peripheral arterial disease stage Fontaine 2a and 2b at inclusion. Medical history (e.g. CLTI) does not matter, current disease stage is leading at inclusion. Exclusion Criteria PAD: Patients with: * Insufficient schooling or sensorial deficits that interfere understanding informed consent. * Not able to use the VASCUL-AID mobile health app (provided in Dutch, English, German, Portuguese, Serbian, Finnish, Swedish languages).
