About this trial

Noninvasive left ventricular pressure-strain loop analysis estimates myocardial work from longitudinal strain, brachial systolic blood pressure, and cardiac valve-event timing. It provides global work index, constructive work, wasted work, and work efficiency.

This study evaluates a deep-learning method that automates myocardial work and loop-shape analysis. The method may reduce analysis time, improve reproducibility, and identify patterns associated with heart failure.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Sustained Isometric Handgrip Exercise

    Behavioral

    Participants perform sustained isometric handgrip at around 30 % of maximal voluntary contraction for 5 minutes during echocardiography.

  • Semi-Supine Bicycle Exercise

    Behavioral

    Participants perform graded semi-supine bicycle exercise during echocardiography.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Echocardiographic Acquisition Success

Percentage of acquired examinations successfully processed by the deep-learning pipeline to generate myocardial work indices, assessed separately at rest, during handgrip, and during bicycle exercise.

Time frame
During one study visit: at rest, during the handgrip and bicycle test.

Secondary outcomes

1

Agreement Between Deep Learning- and Expert-Derived Myocardial Work Indices

Agreement for myocardial work indices will be assessed using mean bias with 95% limits of agreement, and mean absolute error.

Time frame
Echocardiograms acquired at rest and during handgrip and bicycle exercise at a single study visit.
