Show the study's own words
- "This is a prospective, single-arm clinical trial in which participants with dilated cardiomyopathy will invite their first degree relatives to undergo mobile cardiac, electrocardiogram screening."
- "The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of an "Artificial Intelligent" (AI) enhanced 6Lead (6L) mobile electrocardiogram (EKG) in encouraging first degree relatives (FDR) of probands with a dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) to obtain appropriate cardiac screening."
- "The AI enhanced EKG (AI-EKG) will be acquired using the AliveCor KardiaMobile 6L system which allows the generation of prediction probabilities for reduced left ventricular function (LVEF)."
- "The AliveCor KardiaMobile 6L device is an FDA approved handheld smart device that records an EKG in 30 seconds to 5-minute increments."
- "The EKG signal is communicated wirelessly via Bluetooth to a mobile computing platform (MCP) which can be a smartphone or tablet."
- "The 6L EKG is transmitted following processing by the Kardia Apps."
- Compensation
- Not stated
- Study-related exams and procedures are typically provided at no cost. This is how many trials work in general — confirm the details for this study with the study team.
- Participants are monitored closely by the research team throughout the study.
- Some participants may receive access to an investigational treatment, which is still being studied.
- Your participation helps researchers learn whether this approach could help future patients.
About this study
This is a prospective, single-arm clinical trial in which participants with dilated cardiomyopathy will invite their first degree relatives to undergo mobile cardiac, electrocardiogram screening.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Official eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria (Proband) * Male or female age ≥ 18 years * Confirmed diagnosis of non-ischemic DCM determined at the discretion of the treating physician and defined as LVEF ≤ 45% at any time during the clinical course of the patient * Must have at least one living adult FDR * Able to provide informed consent Inclusion Criteria (FDR) * Male or female age ≥ 18 years who are first-degree relatives of patients with DCM * Proband has provided informed consent * FDR able to provide informed verbal consent * Access to a smartphone or digital tablet with cellular data or Wi-Fi access Exclusion Criteria (Proband) * DCM attributed to any other secondary form of cardiomyopathy per the investigator's determination * Proband has previously informed FDR to undergo cardiac screening * Ischemic cause of reduced LVEF * evidence of myocardial infarction, inducible ischemia or chest pain on stress testing in absence of coronary angiogram to rule out ischemic disease * history of acute coronary syndromes (STEMI (ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction), NSTEMI (Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction) or unstable angina) revascularization or ≥75% stenosis of either left main or Left Anterior Descending (LAD) or ≥75% stenosis of 2 major epicardial vessels on angiogram * Moderate or greater primary valvular abnormality not due to underlying cardiomyopathy * Congenital structural heart disease * Severe and untreated or untreatable hypertension * Cardiomyopathy due to acute or reversible conditions; examples include tachyarrhythmias, thyroid disorders, iron overload * Any secondary cause of reduced LVEF such as pregnancy, myocarditis, amyloidosis, sarcoidosis, exposure to toxins including alcohol, substance abuse or chemotherapeutic drug * (CPC Participants only) Home address outside of traveling range Exclusion Criteria (FDR) * Previously informed about cardiac screening or has completed cardiac screening by transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) * Previously diagnosed with reduced LVEF * (CPC Participants only) Home address outside of traveling range
