Clinical Trials

Since first being introduced in 2003, several clinical studies have been conducted investigating AUDICOR® technology. Topics of interest include the prevalence of abnormal heart sounds, the diagnostic and prognostic usefulness of heart sounds in heart failure and acute coronary syndrome, the effects of pharmacologic treatment on the presence or absence of the third heart sound, and the monitoring of cardiac function resulting from changes in synchronization therapy.

The results of these studies have been both presented at premier scientific sessions such as the American College of Cardiology, the Society of Emergency Medicine, Heart Failure Society of America and published in leading peer reviewed journals including Journal of the American Medical Association.  The current multi-center study is called HEart Failure and Audicor Technology for Rapid Diagnosis and Initial Treatment (HEARD-IT) Trial.
