A Study of Electrocardiogram and Focused Cardiac Ultrasound for Enhanced Cardiac Disease Screening (SCAN)

May 6, 2025 updated by: Gal Tsaban, Mayo Clinic

Integrating Electrocardiogram and Focused Cardiac Ultrasound for Enhanced Cardiac Disease Screening; Structural Cardiac Assessment With Networked AI-ECG & FOCUS (SCAN) Study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of active screening for SHD in asymptomatic outpatients referred for an ECG, using a combination of AI-ECG and FOCUS. Invites will be sent and participants enrolled electronically.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of subjects to be diagnosed with SHD (structural heart disease)
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 months, 1 year
Percentage of subjects to be diagnosed with SHD will be determined by the number of subjects that have a positive SHD screening. Positive SHD screening is defined by any one of the following: decreased LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction), cardiac amyloidosis, aortic stenosis, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Baseline, 6 months, 1 year
Positive predictive value (PPV)
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 months, 1 year
Positive predictive value (PPV) will be measured as a percentage. PPV will reflect the percentage of times that each screening pathway matches a formal echocardiogram diagnosis.
Baseline, 6 months, 1 year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of deaths
Time Frame: 1 year
Number of deaths will include all-cause deaths.
1 year
Number of adverse cardiovascular events
Time Frame: 1 year
Number of adverse cardiovascular events includes systolic heart failure, rt failure hospitalization.
1 year
Percentage of subjects to be diagnosed with decreased LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 months,1 year
Percentage of subjects to be diagnosed with decreased LVEF will be determined by the percentage of subjects to have a LVEF lower than 50%.
Baseline, 6 months,1 year
Percentage of subjects to be diagnosed with cardiac amyloidosis
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 months,1 year
Percentage of subjects to be diagnosed with cardiac amyloidosis will be determined by the number of subjects that have a positive AI-ECG or ultrasound. Cardiac amyloidosis is the buildup of protein in the heart muscle that affect the structure and function of the heart.
Baseline, 6 months,1 year
Percentage of subjects to be diagnosed with aortic stenosis
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 months,1 year
Percentage of subjects to be diagnosed with aortic stenosis will be determined by the number of subjects that have a positive AI-ECG or ultrasound. Aortic stenosis is the narrowing of the aortic value decreasing the blood flow from heart to the aorta.
Baseline, 6 months,1 year
Percentage of subjects to be diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 months,1 year
Percentage of subjects to be diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy will be determined by the number of subjects that have a positive AI-ECG or ultrasound. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the thickening of the heart muscle which leads to reduced blood flow.
Baseline, 6 months,1 year
