Can a New AI Tool Help ECGs Detect PH Earlier?

Trial Objectives

---

Interstitial lung disease can be associated with a number of other lung diseases, including pulmonary hypertension (PH), or high blood pressure in the lungs. Researchers are investigating a non-invasive screening called an electrocardiogram (ECG), paired with new AI tools, to determine if it can detect PH in ILD patients sooner than current diagnostic tools. Earlier diagnosis helps patients get treatment sooner and, potentially, have better outcomes.

Volunteers in this study will receive a 12-lead ECG test and will be scored for potential risk of developing PH. If they score higher risk, they will receive a medical exam and will be monitored for 6 months. Participants will receive continued medical care to evaluate who develops symptoms of PH within that period. The data collected will help researchers continue to improve these diagnostic tools for identifying PH in ILD patients.
