This trial examined whether artificial intelligence-enhanced ECG scans (AI-ECG) could effectively detect heart problems related to pregnancy in women in Nigeria. Researchers compared AI-enhanced heart scans to standard clinical heart scans in pregnant women and women within 12 months after giving birth. The goal was to see if this new technology could catch heart problems earlier and more accurately.
Pregnancy-related heart disease can develop suddenly and be life-threatening, but it is often missed or detected too late. This trial was designed to see whether artificial intelligence could help doctors spot these dangerous heart conditions faster and more reliably, potentially saving mothers' lives.
Participants received two heart scans: one analyzed using the new artificial intelligence technology and one using standard clinical methods. The trial compared how well each approach detected heart problems in pregnant and postpartum women in Nigeria. Participants' results were used to evaluate whether the AI-enhanced scanning method was more effective at identifying pregnancy-related heart disease than traditional approaches.
