Impact of Automatic Prompts in Echocardiographic Reports on Referral to Cardiology - A Randomized Control Study
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 30 Apr 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Echo Prompts study is a multi-center randomized controlled study to evaluate the impact of automatic prompts added to the conclusion of the echocardiographic reports of patient diagnosed with significant VHD 1) suggesting referral to a cardiologist or 2) suggesting referral to a cardiologist and offering the help of the University of Ottawa Heart Institute Center for Valvular Heart Diseases, compared to current standard of care (no prompts) on the rates and time to an evaluation by a cardiologist. We plan to involve a total of 300 patients in total. Primary endpoint will be the rate of referrals of patients having VHD to a cardiologist within 6 months after their TTE.
