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)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at people with moderate to severe heart valve disease (aortic, mitral, or tricuspid) who had at least two echocardiograms. It aims to learn more about how these conditions are managed in everyday medical practice.
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 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.
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.
