Detecting heart and lung pressure problems with a smart stethoscope
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are willing and able to consent to take part
- You have had an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) or a right heart catheterization (a tube test for heart pressures) within the last 7 days (before or after the study procedures)
- You are not currently hospitalized (unless you are only having a right heart catheterization without a limited echo)

This study is testing if a special digital stethoscope (CORE 500) can help detect a heart condition called pulmonary hypertension. You may join if you are 18 or older, not currently hospitalized, and will have a heart ultrasound or right heart catheterization around the time of your visit.
This study tests a computer “listening” algorithm that uses an electronic stethoscope to help detect pulmonary hypertension. It may help spot this condition earlier by turning routine heart-lung exams into more informative screenings.
This study uses a digital stethoscope to record lung sounds from adults with or without lung conditions. It aims to collect data that may help improve detection of breathing problems.
This study tests if an artificial intelligence program can detect a weak heart pump (low ejection fraction) using a simple three-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), which is a quick heart tracing test. It could help find heart problems earlier without needing a full ultrasound.
This study uses a digital stethoscope to record lung sounds from patients with and without breathing problems. It aims to help doctors better identify different types of lung sounds.
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.
