Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 21 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Study population will be sourced from patients presenting themselves for cardiac CT angiography who meet appropriate inclusion / exclusoin criteria.

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects who are undergoing routine screening coronary CT angiography
  • Willingness to sign informed consent form

Who cannot join

  • Inability to provide informed consent form
  • Age less than 21 years
  • Any contraindications to coronary CT angiography
  • Known atherosclerotic heart disease, including a history of prior myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass graft surgery or an established diagnosis of CAD by prior X-ray or CT angiography
  • Supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmias that would be expected to affect CT-angiography image quality (e.g., atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, ventricular tachycardia, bigeminy, and trigeminy). Patients with isolated premature atrial contractions and premature ventricular contractions may enroll.
  • Use of intravenous vasodilators
  • Any pulmonary conditions that would create abnormal physical findings that would interfere with the fidelity of the cardiac sound recording (e.g., obstructive pulmonary disease, such as asthma or COPD, with audible wheezing).
  • Presence of audible aortic or pulmonic diastolic murmurs, tricuspid or mitral flow diastolic murmurs, or continuous murmurs

About this study

Official title: Validation of the Cardiosond Sonospectrographic Digital Electronic Stethoscope in Diagnosing Coronary Artery Disease Versus CT Angiography

The study is designed to evaluate the predictive diagnostic accuracy of SonoMedica's CardioSond digital electronic stethoscope in the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients without known disease who are referred to cardiac computed tomography angiography (CT scans).

Read the detailed description

The CardioSond is a completely noninvasive medical device which detects heart sounds and murmurs using ultrasensitive acoustic technology. The CardioSond produces a flow micro bruit score which is used to determine the likelihood of coronary artery disease.

The CardioSond exam will be given to patients who agree to participate in the study upon signing of an informed consent form and prior to the administration of beta blocker agents and / or vasodilators as part of the normal cardiac CT angiography protocol.

CardioSond data will be sent to an independent acoustic core lab which will determine data quality and produce a flow micro bruit score. CT angiography data will be analyzed by staff at North Shore University Hospital.

A data review panel lead my the principal investigator will examine the results of both the CardioSond and CT angiography data to determine the accuracy of the CardioSond in detecting CAD in the study population at large and in specific patient subgroups.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Comparison of the CardioSond digital electronic stethoscope's flow micro bruit score as an indication of the probability of coronary artery disease in patients without know disease versus the results of cardiac CT angiography.

    Measured: Post collection of CardioSond and CT angiography data

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Comparison of CardioSond's flow micro bruit score as an indication of the probability of coronary artery disease against the results of cardiac CT angiography in patient subgroups including age, sex, body mass index, location and severity of disease.

    Measured: Upon collection of CardioSond and CT angiography data

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease, run by SonoMedica, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Apr 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Comparison of the CardioSond digital electronic stethoscope's flow micro bruit score as an indication of the probability of coronary artery disease in patients without know disease versus the results of cardiac CT angiography. (time frame: Post collection of CardioSond and CT angiography data). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Apr 2018.
