About this trial

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate accuracy of portable electronic stethoscope and machine learning-based diagnostic algorithms for detecting the disease in people with valvular heart disease and healthy controls. The main question it aims to answer is:

Is portable electronic stethoscope and machine learning-based diagnostic algorithms allow accurate detection of valvular heart disease?

Researchers will compare diagnostic algorithm's predictions with the clinicians' predictions to see if the diagnostic results are accurate.

Participants will

* take echocardiogram * take electrocardiogram using BPM Core * get the heart auscultation data measured via electronic stethoscope

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers
