GUARD-PH: Guided Use of AI-ECG for Risk Detection of PH in Surgery (GUARD-PH Trial)
A Prospective, Open-Label, Randomized Controlled Trial of an Artificial Intelligence Enabled Electrocardiography System for Preoperative Detection of Pulmonary Hypertension and Related Diseases(GUARD-PH)
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 15 Jan 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study is a prospective, open-label, randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool for heart monitoring. Researchers will use an AI-enabled electrocardiography (ECG) system to screen patients before they undergo surgery. The main goal is to determine if this AI system can accurately detect pulmonary hypertension and related heart diseases in the preoperative setting. The study is being conducted at Taipei Veterans General Hospital.
