This is a prospective observational study that deploys AI algorithms to analyze transthoracic echocardiograms (TTEs) in routine care. It measures clinician usability, interpretive consistency, and how the tools fit into clinical workflow. The study also includes a pragmatic, stepped-wedge comparison (using EHR notifications and cluster-level randomization) to evaluate diagnostic AI algorithms for several heart diseases and their effects on diagnostic testing and time to diagnosis.

What it is studying. Whether informational AI-Echo algorithms can assist clinicians in interpreting core echocardiogram measures and stratifying disease risk, and whether deploying these algorithms changes diagnostic testing patterns and time to diagnosis.

What the researchers hope to learn. To evaluate clinician usability, interpretive consistency, and workflow integration of AI-Echo tools. To assess diagnostic performance of AI algorithms for genetic cardiomyopathy, ischemic heart disease, cardiac amyloidosis, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, including counts of confirmed diagnoses and time from index TTE to confirmed diagnosis.

What this study is about

The study's own summary, as published on ClinicalTrials.gov. Underlined terms have a short explanation.

The purpose of this study is to deploy and evaluate informational AI-Echo algorithms that assist echo clinicians in interpreting core echocardiographic parameters (e.g., LV/RV size and function, valvular disease severity) and stratifying disease progression risk. The primary outcome is clinician usability, interpretive consistency, and workflow integration. Second, we will conduct a pragmatic, stepped-wedge clinical trial with multiple arms evaluating diagnostic AI-Echo algorithms designed to identify specific cardiovascular diseases- such as genetic cardiomyopathy, ischemic heart disease, and cardiac amyloidosis-and assess whether AI deployment increases diagnostic testing and shortens time to diagnosis. Trials will be conducted using EHR-based notification systems with cluster-level randomization.

Interventions being studied

Being studied in this trial does not mean the treatment or procedure is approved or available for this condition.

Diagnostic test
  • Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)

Eligibility

The criteria exactly as listed on ClinicalTrials.gov. Only the study team can say whether they apply to you.

Inclusion criteria

  • Genetic cardiomyopathy arm: Clinicians who order, perform, and interpret echocardiograms and act on echocardiogram results, including both physicians and allied health staff taking care of patients aged ≥18 years who are undergoing a comprehensive TTE at a participating Mayo Clinic site with AI-Echo analysis indicating high risk for a genetic cardiomyopathy. A high-risk score will be defined by a specific threshold determined in model development to maximize sensitivity while maintaining an adequate positive predictive value to support clinical deployment
  • Ischemic cardiomyopathy arm: Clinicians who order, perform, and interpret echocardiograms and act on echocardiogram results, including both physicians and allied health staff taking care of patients aged ≥18 years who are undergoing a comprehensive TTE with AI-Echo analysis indicating high risk for ischemic cardiomyopathy. A high-risk score will be defined by a specific threshold determined in model development to maximize sensitivity while maintaining an adequate positive predictive value to support clinical deployment.
  • Cardiac amyloidosis arm: Clinicians who order, perform, and interpret echocardiograms and act on echocardiogram results, including both physicians and allied health staff taking care of patients aged ≥18 years who are undergoing a comprehensive TTE with AI-Echo analysis indicating high risk for cardiac amyloidosis. A high-risk score will be defined by a specific threshold determined in model development to maximize sensitivity while maintaining an adequate positive predictive value to support clinical deployment.
  • Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) arm: Clinicians who order, perform, and interpret echocardiograms and act on echocardiogram results, including both physicians and allied health staff caring for patients aged ≥18 years who are undergoing a comprehensive TTE at a participating Mayo Clinic site, with AI-Echo analysis indicating high risk for HCM. A high-risk score will be defined by a specific threshold determined during model development to maximize sensitivity while maintaining adequate positive predictive value for clinical deployment.

Exclusion criteria

  • Genetic cardiomyopathy arm: Studies performed within the past 2 years at a Mayo site or in those patients with known or suspected diagnosis of genetic cardiomyopathy under evaluation, on hospice care, or who have an expected non-cardiac life expectancy <1 year, and patients who have opted out of institutional and state research authorizations.
  • Ischemic cardiomyopathy arm: Studies performed within the past 2 years at a Mayo site or in those patients with known CAD; prior myocardial infarction; revascularization with PCI or CABG; ischemic testing within the past 12 months; hospice care or expected non-cardiac life expectancy <1 year, and patients who have opted out of institutional and state research authorizations.
  • Cardiac amyloidosis arm: Studies performed within the past 2 years at a Mayo site or in those patients with prior amyloid-specific testing (e.g., technetium pyrophosphate scan, cardiac MRI with late gadolinium enhancement suggestive of amyloid) or biopsy-proven systemic amyloidosis, on hospice care, or have expected non-cardiac life expectancy <1 year, and patients who have opted out of institutional and state research authorizations.
  • Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) arm: Studies performed within the past 2 years at a Mayo site or patients with a known diagnosis of HCM documented in the medical record prior to the index TTE, prior septal reduction therapy (surgical myectomy or alcohol septal ablation), or patients on hospice care or with an expected non-cardiac life expectancy <1 year, and patients who have opted out of institutional and state research authorizations.

Clinicians' routine comprehensive TTEs will be processed by the study's AI‑Echo algorithms and clinicians may receive EHR‑based notifications or AI output during normal care. The study collects clinical and diagnostic data from medical records to evaluate usability, interpretive consistency, workflow integration, changes in downstream diagnostic testing, and time to diagnosis. Depending on clinical judgment, downstream tests ordered as part of usual care (for example, genetic testing, coronary imaging or angiography, stress testing, amyloid imaging, cardiac MRI, or biopsy) may occur and will be recorded. Deployment is done in a stepped‑wedge, cluster‑randomized way, so clinician teams may start receiving AI notifications at different times as part of the study design.

How the study is structured. A prospective observational deployment study that watches how AI tools perform and are used in real clinical settings. Nested within this deployment is a pragmatic stepped-wedge comparison where clinics receive the AI at different times (cluster-level randomization) and EHR-based alerts are used to study effects across disease-specific arms.

Questions you could ask

These questions are suggestions for a conversation with the study team or your own clinician, not advice.

  • The registry lists this study under Cardiomyopathy; Ischemic Heart Disease; Cardiac Amyloidosis. Does it apply to my diagnosis?
  • This is an observational study, so the study itself gives no treatment. What would taking part involve for me, and would it change my usual care?
  • The listed sites are in United States. Is any of them reachable for me, and does the study help with travel?
  • Which of the eligibility criteria would need to be checked with tests before I could join?

Terms used on this page · explanations by MedicalUpdates.ai

primary outcome
The main result the study is designed to measure and report on. Other results, called secondary outcomes, are also collected.
clinical trial
A study in which researchers assign participants to one or more interventions, such as a drug, procedure, device, behavioural programme or other approach, to measure their effects.
randomization
Participants are assigned to the study groups by chance, like a coin toss, rather than chosen by the doctor or the participant. This is done so the groups are comparable.
echocardiogram
An ultrasound scan of the heart. A transesophageal echocardiogram is done through a probe passed into the food pipe for a closer view.
life expectancy
Some studies require that, in the investigator's judgement, a participant is likely to live long enough to complete the study period. It is a study requirement, not a prediction about any individual.
MRI
A scan that uses magnets and radio waves, not X-rays, to make detailed pictures of the inside of the body. Some implants and metal objects mean a person cannot have one.
biopsy-proven
Removal of a small piece of tissue so it can be examined under a microscope. 'Biopsy-proven' or 'histologically confirmed' means the diagnosis was confirmed by examining tissue under a microscope.
Inclusion criteria
The conditions a person must meet to be considered for the study, for example a confirmed diagnosis, an age range or a test result.
Exclusion criteria
The conditions that rule a person out even if they meet the inclusion criteria, for example other illnesses, certain medicines or pregnancy.
