Automated heart ultrasound analysis for heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a computer program (deep learning) to automatically analyze heart ultrasound images and pressure data, aiming to improve how we measure heart function in people with heart failure. It will compare results from heart failure patients and healthy volunteers to see if the automated method works well.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and can give consent.
- For heart failure group: you have had a heart attack and your heart's pumping ability (ejection fraction) is 40% or less.
- For healthy volunteers: you have no high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking, or other significant health conditions.
- You are not pregnant (for healthy volunteers).
- You are not on heart-affecting medications (for healthy volunteers).
- You are able to undergo an exercise test and heart ultrasound as judged by a cardiologist.

This study looks for blood and other markers that can explain how people with heart failure respond to exercise training. It may help researchers better tailor exercise or treatment plans for heart failure in the future.
This trial tests a digital program (called HeartMed-HF) that uses a smartphone to guide your exercise and recovery after a recent heart attack, to help improve your exercise capacity. If you have heart failure after a heart attack, this program might help you feel stronger and do more in your daily life.
This study looks at how well blood moves through the body and how strongly the left side of the heart pumps in adults. It compares people who have heart failure to people who do not, to better understand differences and possible causes.
This trial uses artificial intelligence to analyze heart ultrasound images. It aims to see if AI can detect heart function better than standard methods. You may be eligible if you are a cardiology patient having an ultrasound and can return for extra blood pressure checks.
This study uses a heart ultrasound (echocardiogram) to predict outcomes in people hospitalized for sudden heart failure. If you are receiving IV fluid-removing medication, the results may help your doctors understand your condition better.
This study uses artificial intelligence to analyze your heart sounds and heartbeat together to see if this can help understand heart health better. It might lead to easier heart checkups in the future.
