Conditions

Cardiac Disease

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of active screening for SHD in asymptomatic outpatients referred for an ECG, using a combination of AI-ECG and FOCUS. Invites will be sent and participants enrolled electronically.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTAI-ECG (artificial intelligence-enabled electrocardiogram)

Participants will undergo electrocardiogram analysis using AI-ECG during the baseline visit

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTFocus Screening (focused cardiac ultrasonography)

Participants will undergo a focused cardiac ultrasound if the AI-ECG reflects a positive value

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of subjects to be diagnosed with SHD (structural heart disease)Baseline, 6 months, 1 yearPercentage of subjects to be diagnosed with SHD will be determined by the number of subjects that have a positive SHD screening. Positive SHD screening is defined by any one of the following: decreased LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction), cardiac amyloidosis, aortic stenosis, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Positive predictive value (PPV)Baseline, 6 months, 1 yearPositive predictive value (PPV) will be measured as a percentage. PPV will reflect the percentage of times that each screening pathway matches a formal echocardiogram diagnosis.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of deaths1 yearNumber of deaths will include all-cause deaths.
Number of adverse cardiovascular events1 yearNumber of adverse cardiovascular events includes systolic heart failure, rt failure hospitalization.
Percentage of subjects to be diagnosed with decreased LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)Baseline, 6 months,1 yearPercentage of subjects to be diagnosed with decreased LVEF will be determined by the percentage of subjects to have a LVEF lower than 50%.
Percentage of subjects to be diagnosed with cardiac amyloidosisBaseline, 6 months,1 yearPercentage of subjects to be diagnosed with cardiac amyloidosis will be determined by the number of subjects that have a positive AI-ECG or ultrasound. Cardiac amyloidosis is the buildup of protein in the heart muscle that affect the structure and function of the heart.
Percentage of subjects to be diagnosed with aortic stenosisBaseline, 6 months,1 yearPercentage of subjects to be diagnosed with aortic stenosis will be determined by the number of subjects that have a positive AI-ECG or ultrasound. Aortic stenosis is the narrowing of the aortic value decreasing the blood flow from heart to the aorta.
Percentage of subjects to be diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathyBaseline, 6 months,1 yearPercentage of subjects to be diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy will be determined by the number of subjects that have a positive AI-ECG or ultrasound. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the thickening of the heart muscle which leads to reduced blood flow.
