Detecting heart valve disease and heart failure in a diverse community using cardiac ultrasound

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the prevalence of heart valve diseases and left ventricular dysfunction in a multi-ethnic community, particularly focusing on individuals aged 65 and older. The study will train non-expert staff in primary care to perform abbreviated cardiac ultrasounds to facilitate early detection of these conditions. By improving access to diagnostic tools, the study seeks to enhance management strategies for heart valve disease and heart failure, ultimately reducing hospital admissions and improving patient outcomes. The findings will contribute valuable data to address the healthcare needs of a diverse population.
