Comparison Between a Robotic Tele-echo-cardiography Technique and a Standard Echocardiography in the Management of Heart Failure in the Guadeloupe Archipelago Between the University Hospital of Guadeloupe and the Marie-Galante Hospital

Conditions

Summary

The TERdeblue-S study is a feasibility study of robotic remote echocardiography, not only in terms of technology but also in terms of its integration into a telemedicine system to improve access to the heart failure management system in the Guadeloupe archipelago. The main objective of this study is to study the agreement of the measurement of the left ventricular ejection fraction (FejVG) between in situ echocardiography (EIS) and two-dimensional remote echocardiography (TER) (distance and volumes).


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is comparing two ways of performing an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) — one using a standard in-person technique, and one using a robot-assisted remote (tele-echo) system. The goal is to see if the remote robotic approach is as accurate and effective, which could improve heart care in geographically remote areas like Marie-Galante island in Guadeloupe. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You are a patient at the Marie-Galante Hospital in Guadeloupe - You are having a routine heart check-up, or have risk factors for heart disease (high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, smoking, alcohol), or have a suspected heart condition that has been stable for at least one week - You have a family history of heart disease or sudden death **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You need urgent transfer to a specialist hospital for your heart condition - You have acute unstable heart failure or were admitted to the hospital less than 5 days ago - You are pregnant Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
