Ultrasound to detect heart valve problems in older adults
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using ultrasound at the doctor's office can find heart valve problems earlier in adults 65 to 85. If a problem is found, they will get a follow-up ultrasound to confirm, which could help manage their heart health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 65 and 85 years old.
- You have an upcoming appointment at a primary care or geriatrics clinic.
- You don't have a pacemaker or similar heart device.
- You haven't had an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) in the last 5 years.
- You don't have known moderate or severe heart valve disease, or a weak heart pump (ejection fraction of 50% or less).

This study tests if a deep learning tool can help detect aortic stenosis, a heart valve condition, in older adults during routine primary care visits. If you are 70 or older and have not had a recent echocardiogram, you may be able to join.
This trial is testing how well an AI tool can help doctors diagnose aortic stenosis and diastolic dysfunction by analyzing your scheduled ECG (heart test). The study takes place during your routine care at the clinic.
This study uses an artificial intelligence (AI) program to analyze past heart ultrasound images and predict if your aortic valve condition (mild thickening or narrowing) may get worse over time. The goal is to catch changes early and personalize your follow-up care.
This trial is testing a new way to check for heart valve problems using your recent ECG (heart electrical test). If you're 60 to 85 and haven't had recent heart imaging or known valve disease, you may qualify.
This trial uses a heart ultrasound test to find people who may have weak heart pumping function, especially in a multi-ethnic community. It may help improve how doctors detect this condition earlier using ultrasound images.
This study tests whether family doctors can use a small ultrasound device to check the heart for early signs of disease. It may help find heart problems sooner in people who have risk factors or mild symptoms.
