Testing a new electronic stethoscope for heart murmur checks
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is testing a new electronic stethoscope (called Keikku) to see if it works well and is safe for checking heart murmurs in children and adults who are not in an emergency situation. If it works, it could give doctors a better tool for evaluating heart sounds.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a child (from birth to 1 month old) or an adult (up to 99 years old).
- You have a heart murmur that needs a first or follow-up check, or you need a non-urgent heart clearance for some reason.
- Your evaluation is happening in a doctor's office (outpatient) or in a hospital room (inpatient), but not in an emergency.
- You are not pregnant (if you are female).

This trial is testing a device that listens to heart murmurs when you come to the hospital with symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, or fainting. It helps doctors find serious heart problems earlier.
This study is testing a new device that records heart and lung sounds to see if it can help doctors better understand heart and lung conditions. You may be eligible if you have a known heart condition or if you are generally healthy, and if you've had or will have an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) in the last or next year.
This study validates a new portable electronic stethoscope that can help detect heart valve disease. If you've had an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) recently, researchers want to test whether this device accurately identifies valve problems.
This study tests if a digital stethoscope and a simple 3-lead ECG (heart rhythm test) can detect two heart conditions: high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension) and low pumping strength of the heart (low ejection fraction). It's intended for adults who recently had a heart ultrasound or a heart catheterization.
This study tests a digital stethoscope device that can help doctors better hear and identify lung problems in young children with cough or breathing trouble. The goal is to see if this tool improves how doctors diagnose respiratory infections and other lung conditions.
This study uses digital technology to analyze heart sounds in newborns under 30 days old. The goal is to develop a simple, non-invasive way to detect heart problems early using sound recordings.
