Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Prospective, blind comparison to a gold standard.

Participants in this study will be adults who have had an echocardiogram in the preceding 6 months. Based upon echocardiogram results, participants with severe aortic stenosis will be allocated to experimental group 1, patients with mild-moderate aortic stenosis will be allocated to experimental group 2.

Participants attend for a single 20 minute appointment at which time their age, past medical history, transthoracic echocardiogram report and blood pressure is documented. Gyrocardiography (GCG) data is then obtained using smartphone devices that contain the smartphone application developed by Precordior Ltd. The smartphone device will be placed on the chest over the middle of the sternum and the measurement activated by pressing the “start” button in the CardioSignal application. Four 1-minute recordings will be performed. The intervention will be administered and directly observed by a member of the research team.
The GCG data provides a diagnosis which will be compared to the results found on echocardiogram using sensitivity and specific testing.

This assessment is performed at Royal Perth Hospital by doctors or research nurses.
