A Study of AI in Cardiac Transplant in Echocardiographic Analysis (ORACLE) (ORACLE)

June 4, 2025 updated by: Atta Behfar MD, PhD, Mayo Clinic

Outcome Reflection for Immune Mediated Rejection by Utilizing Artificial Intelligence in Cardiac Transplant Patients Through Early and Late Echocardiographic Analysis (ORACLE)

The purpose of this research is to detect episodes of rejection versus non-rejection after cardiac transplant and the diagnostic accuracy of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm using the data from an ECG (electrocardiogram) and Cardiac Ultrasound (Echocardiogram and/or point of care ultrasound).

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of episodes identified by the Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm as 1R or greater acute cellular rejection, grade 1 or greater antibody mediated rejection, reduction in LVEF to <50%, or a drop in LVEF >5%
Time Frame: 2 years
Number of episodes identified by the AI algorithm as 1R or greater acute cellular rejection, grade 1 or greater antibody mediated rejection, reduction in LVEF to <50%, or a drop in LVEF >5% utilizing electrocardiograms and cardiac ultrasound images/videos obtained from point of care ultrasound (POCUS) or echocardiograms.
