Heart sounds study for early disease detection
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses sound recordings from your heart (like a high-tech stethoscope) to see if early signs of heart disease can be detected. You may qualify if you are already having two common heart tests (angiogram and echocardiogram) within a 6-month period.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You can understand and sign a consent form.
- You have had a heart catheterization (angiogram) in the last 6 months and are scheduled for a heart ultrasound (echocardiogram), or the other way around.
- Both tests are done at Cambridge University Hospitals.
- You do not have any unstable heart condition (like a recent heart attack, severe chest pain, severe heart failure, dangerous heart rhythm, blood clot in the lung, or torn aorta).
- You have not had a heart valve surgery or procedure in the past.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new way to detect heart valve problems by measuring your heart's electrical activity and how it moves. Researchers will compare people with valve disease to people with healthy hearts to see if this method can accurately spot problems.
This study tests a device that listens to your heart sounds to check for signs of blocked heart arteries. It is for people who have chest pain symptoms but have never had a heart attack, stent, or bypass surgery.
This trial studies whether a newer, faster ultrasound imaging method can better assess areas of the heart that may not get enough blood during stress. You may be eligible if you have known coronary artery disease or are considered low risk, and if you can safely undergo the stress ultrasound test.
This study tests whether a simple single-lead heart monitor (ECG) can spot problems with your heart valves. It may be a quick, easy way to screen for valve disease.
This trial uses advanced CT scans to study people with moderate or severe heart valve disease. It aims to better understand valve problems and may help guide future treatments.
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.
