Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a prospective, single-arm clinical trial in which participants with dilated cardiomyopathy will invite their first degree relatives to undergo mobile cardiac, electrocardiogram screening.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of an "Artificial Intelligent" (AI) enhanced 6Lead (6L) mobile electrocardiogram (EKG) in encouraging first degree relatives (FDR) of probands with a dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) to obtain appropriate cardiac screening.

The AI enhanced EKG (AI-EKG) will be acquired using the AliveCor KardiaMobile 6L system which allows the generation of prediction probabilities for reduced left ventricular function (LVEF). The AliveCor KardiaMobile 6L device is an FDA approved handheld smart device that records an EKG in 30 seconds to 5-minute increments. The device is an ambulatory wireless device that connects to a smartphone and is easy to use. The EKG signal is communicated wirelessly via Bluetooth to a mobile computing platform (MCP) which can be a smartphone or tablet. The MCP will be running either the KardiaRx mobile application if the participant is remote, or the KardiaStation App if the participation is on sight at either the Lancaster General Hospital (LGH) campus or the Central Pennsylvania Clinic (CPC) location. The 6L EKG is transmitted following processing by the Kardia Apps. The results of the EKG tracings recorded by the AliveCor devices will not be entered into the electronic medical record or used to guide clinical care. The EKG data from the recordings identified only by the connection code will be uploaded to the AliveCor cloud for proprietary AI analysis designed to detect impaired LVEF. This AI software for LVEF analysis is FDA approved.

All participating FDR will be encouraged to pursue cardiac screening per American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) recommendations.

If available, the probands clinical 12Lead (12L) EKGs will be obtained if recorded within 30 days of their Kardia 6L recording. The concordance of the algorithm results applied to the Kardia 6L data with the 12L FDA approved LVEF algorithm results will be assessed.

Study Groups

DCM Screening

Participants (probands) with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) will invite their first-degree relatives (FDR) to participate in DCM screening to examine the impact of an "Artificial Intelligent" (AI) enhanced 6lead (6L) mobile electrocardiogram (EKG) in encouraging FDR of probands with a DCM to obtain appropriate cardiac screening.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Mobile 6L AI-EKG Screening

Intervention Type DEVICE

Participants (probands) with DCM will invite their first-degree relatives to undergo DCM screening procedures.

Probands and first-degree relatives will complete a mobile 6L AI-EKG which will be transmitted to a mobile app and interpreted by the AI-EKG algorithm. Results will be shared electronically or verbally to the participant.

If available, the probands clinical 12L EKGs will be obtained if recorded within 30 days of their Kardia 6L recording.

All participating FDR will be encouraged to pursue cardiac screening per ACC/AHA recommendations. Study staff will obtain echocardiogram results up to 6 months of participant enrollment.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria
