Study summary

The purpose of the study is to optimize an already existing algorithm for diagnosing atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries (CAD, Coronary Artery Disease).

Read the detailed description

Acoustic information from the heart is obtained from patients referred to examination for Coronary Artery Disease. The acoustic signals are evaluated as indicators for CAD.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve of the CAD-score to Separate CAD From Non-CAD Patients.

    Cardiac noise marker (CAD-score) ability to separate CAD from non-CAD patients is estimated as the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve is plottet as sensitivity versus 1-specificity as a function of different CAD-score cut-off values. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve is on a scale from 0-100%, the higher value means a better separation of CAD from non-CAD patients. CAD and non-CAD patients are defined by the CTA and CAG evaluations.

    Time frame: Heart sound recordings measured on testday (25 minutes study period)

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
Not marked actual or estimatedDates not marked actual or estimated

The record gives a start of Mar 2012, a primary completion of Oct 2013 and a completion of Oct 2013. It does not say whether these dates are actual or estimated.

Results were first posted in Aug 2019, 5 years 10 months after primary completion.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 19, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
