Evaluating the MindMics Earbud for Heart Conditions

This study is testing a new device called the MindMics earbud. It's a noninvasive (doesn't go inside your body) wearable sensor that listens to very low-frequency sounds (infrasound) from your heart. Researchers want to see how accurately this earbud can detect how well your heart is working, especially if you have conditions like Aortic Stenosis, Mitral Regurgitation, Pulmonary Hypertension, or Heart Failure. You might be able to join if you have a normal heart rhythm and good left ventricle (main pumping chamber) function. The main goal is to see if the infrasound readings from the earbud match up with other heart tests after one year. The current status of this study is unclear.

Study design
This is a comparative diagnostic accuracy study involving 25 participants. It is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific intervention (wearing the earbud).
What's involved
You would wear an infrasonic earbud device while undergoing a comprehensive echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart), electrocardiogram (ECG, measures electrical activity of the heart), and cardiac catheterization (a procedure to look at the heart's blood vessels).
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your infrasound hemodynography will be measured at 1 year.
