About this trial

This prospective multicenter observational study will validate the accuracy of a previously developed artificial intelligence-enabled single-lead electrocardiogram (AI-ECG) model for identifying low ejection fraction and other structural heart disease phenotypes. Adult participants receiving a model-compatible single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) (Apple Watch and QOCA ECG102D) and transthoracic echocardiography at five hospitals in Taiwan will be enrolled between March 1, 2026 and June 30, 2026. Model predictions will be compared with echocardiographic reference standards obtained within 30 days after the index ECG.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Age 20 years or older

Single-lead ECG recorded using a study-compatible device

No transthoracic echocardiography performed within 90 days before the index ECG

Disqualifiers

ECG signal quality insufficient for prespecified AI analysis

No transthoracic echocardiography available within 30 days after the index ECG

Echocardiography unavailable or technically inadequate for determining left ventricular ejection fraction (EF)
