Phase N/A
170 participants needed

Brief description of study

At home care (AHC) Artificial Intelligence Electrocardiogram (AI-ECG) can improve cardiac screening by echocardiogram for first degree relatives (FDR) of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Probands will contact their FDRs about testing with an AI-ECG mobile device. This study compares the impact of screening FDR of probands with DCM using a mobile ECG with the ability to transmit the ECG for cloud based AI analysis to detect heart function.

Detailed description of study

This study has two components: probands and FDRs. The purpose of the study is to determine how many biological FDRs (parents, siblings, or children) of people with DCM undergo heart screening via TTE.
Eligible probands will have:
      •   A diagnosis of DCM and
      •   At least one FDR who does not know that you have DCM

The second part of the study aims to measure how many FDRs choose to get a screening echo done after taking part in the study. FDRs who agree to participate will use a handheld electrocardiogram (ECG) device that records an ECG in 30-second to 5-minute time periods. The smart device, the 6-lead AliveCor Kardia (Kardia), is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It uses an Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm to predict how likely it is that users have reduced heart function.
Eligible FDRs have:
     •   A relative with a diagnosis of DCM
     •   Not been screened before for DCM

Eligibility of study

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

Exclusion Criteria:
Probands

  • Congenital structural heart disease
  • Severe and untreated or untreatable hypertension
  • Known secondary cause of DCM such as pregnancy, myocarditis, alcohol abuse, etc.
FDRs
  • Previously informed about cardiac screening or has completed cardiac screening by TTE
  • Previously diagnosed with reduced LVEF
