Testing a portable electronic stethoscope for heart valve disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be willing to sign a consent form agreeing to participate
- You must have had an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) within the past 5 years
- You cannot have a mechanical (artificial) heart valve
- You cannot have adult congenital heart disease (a heart condition you were born with that affects adults)

This study looks at the health of people with heart valve disease over several years, using echocardiograms (ultrasounds of the heart) to see how the condition changes. It may help doctors understand and improve care for people with this condition.
This study looks at certain byproducts in your body (metabolites) that may be linked to heart valve disease. The goal is to understand how they work, which could lead to better treatments.
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 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 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 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.
