Comparison of Digital Electronic Stethoscope to Computed Tomography (CT) Angiography in Detection of Coronary Artery Disease
Completed
Conditions studied: Coronary Artery Disease
In brief
The study is designed to evaluate the predictive diagnostic accuracy of SonoMedica's CardioSond digital electronic stethoscope in the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients without known disease who are referred to cardiac computed tomography angiography (CT scans).

Who can join
Age: 21 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: accepted.
You may qualify if…
- Subjects who are undergoing routine screening coronary CT angiography
- Willingness to sign informed consent form
You may not qualify if…
- Inability to provide informed consent form
- Age less than 21 years
- Any contraindications to coronary CT angiography
- Known atherosclerotic heart disease, including a history of prior myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass graft surgery or an established diagnosis of CAD by prior X-ray or CT angiography
- Supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmias that would be expected to affect CT-angiography image quality (e.g., atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, ventricular tachycardia, bigeminy, and trigeminy). Patients with isolated premature atrial contractions and premature ventricular contractions may enroll.
- Use of intravenous vasodilators
- Any pulmonary conditions that would create abnormal physical findings that would interfere with the fidelity of the cardiac sound recording (e.g., obstructive pulmonary disease, such as asthma or COPD, with audible wheezing).
- Presence of audible aortic or pulmonic diastolic murmurs, tricuspid or mitral flow diastolic murmurs, or continuous murmurs
