Comparing remote vs in-person heart ultrasound
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a new way of performing an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) from a distance can match the quality of the in-person exam. You may join if you are already scheduled for an echocardiogram and agree to both procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a routine echocardiogram (heart ultrasound).
- You agree to have both your regular echocardiogram and the study's extra exam.
- No other health requirements—this trial focuses on the imaging method, not your condition.

This study tests a new digital method for analyzing heart ultrasound images. Researchers want to see if computer software can help doctors read heart scans more accurately and quickly.
This study is testing a new ultrasound system that takes pictures of your heart from inside your esophagus during surgery. It is for people who are already scheduled for this type of imaging as part of their procedure.
This trial tests whether a robot that performs heart ultrasounds from a distance works as well as a standard in-person ultrasound for managing heart failure. It could help people on the island of Marie-Galante get specialist care without traveling.
This study compares results from an invasive heart test (hemodynamic assessment) with a non-invasive ultrasound (echocardiogram) done on the same day. It aims to see if the ultrasound can provide similar information, potentially reducing the need for invasive procedures.
This study tests whether a 3D ultrasound of the heart gives better information than a standard 2D ultrasound in people with heart failure. It aims to improve how doctors measure heart function, which could help guide treatment.
This trial tests an automated computer tool that helps guide an ultrasound exam of the heart, aiming to get better, usable images. You may benefit if your heart ultrasound is usually hard to capture or takes extra effort to obtain clear pictures.
