NOrthwestern Tempus AI-enaBLed Electrocardiography (NOTABLE) Trial

DEVICE

Risk-Based Assessment for Cardiac Dysfunction

The AI-enabled ECG-based screening tool analyzes 12-lead ECG recordings to identify patients at increased risk for undiagnosed cardiovascular diseases, specifically atrial fibrillation (AF) and structural heart disease (SHD). Clinicians in the intervention group will receive a risk assessment for AF and SHD each time they order an ECG for their patients.

Incidence of New Atrial Fibrillation Diagnosis

Time frame: 6 months from index ECG

Number of participants with a new diagnosis of atrial fibrillation, identified by ICD-10-CM diagnosis code entry in the electronic health record (EHR), among patients ≥65 years old without a prior AF diagnosis who received a 12-lead ECG as part of routine clinical care.

Incidence of New Structural Heart Disease Diagnosis (Composite)

Time frame: 6 months from index ECG

Number of participants with a new diagnosis of one or more of the following, identified by ICD-10-CM diagnosis code and/or echocardiographic report in the EHR: moderate or severe aortic stenosis, moderate or severe aortic regurgitation, moderate or severe mitral stenosis, severe mitral regurgitation, severe tricuspid regurgitation, left ventricular ejection fraction ≤40%, or interventricular septal thickness (IVSd) \>15 mm - among patients ≥40 years old without prior SHD diagnosis who received a 12-lead ECG as part of routine clinical care.

Incidence of New Cardiovascular Diagnosis (Overall Composite: AF + SHD)

Time frame: 6 months from index ECG

Number of participants with a new diagnosis of atrial fibrillation and/or any structural heart disease component listed in Primary Outcome Measure 2, identified by ICD-10-CM diagnosis code and/or echocardiographic report in the EHR.

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.

Is it safe to participate?

Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.

Will I be compensated?

Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.

Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?

When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.

Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?

Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

How long does a clinical trial last?

Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
