Exercise Echocardiography Registry for Ischemic and Non-Ischemic Heart Disease

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 is a prospective, observational registry collecting standardized clinical, exercise, and echocardiographic data from adults undergoing clinically indicated exercise echocardiography at a tertiary care center. It includes patients with suspected or established ischemic heart disease as well as non-ischemic conditions such as cardiomyopathy, heart failure, and valvular disease. The goal is to describe how exercise-induced changes in heart structure and function relate to clinical outcomes in real-world practice. No extra diagnostic procedures are required beyond standard care. Data will be used to better understand prognostic implications of exercise echocardiography across diverse heart diseases.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

* Adults aged 18 years or older
* Patients referred for clinically indicated exercise echocardiography as part of routine clinical care
* Patients evaluated for suspected or known ischemic heart disease, or non-ischemic heart disease, including but not limited to: Cardiomyopathy, Heart failure, Valvular heart disease, Structural heart disease
* Ability to perform exercise-based stress testing using treadmill or bicycle protocols
* Availability of baseline clinical data and interpretable echocardiographic images obtained during rest and exercise
* Provision of informed consent, or eligibility for consent waiver in accordance with institutional review board approval

Exclusion Criteria:

* Inability to perform exercise testing due to non-cardiac limitations, such as severe orthopedic, neurologic, or pulmonary conditions
* Poor echocardiographic image quality that does not allow meaningful interpretation of exercise-induced changes
* Any condition deemed by the treating physician to make participation inappropriate or unsafe, even within an observational framework
