At SCAI 2026 Scientific Sessions & CAIC-ACCI Summit, the REACH trial presented performance data for a smart finger cuff algorithm aimed at detecting moderate-to-severe aortic stenosis. The report focuses on diagnostic accuracy among African American patients, highlighting subgroup-relevant performance rather than overall cohort averages alone. The development aligns with a growing push to move cardiovascular screening earlier in care using noninvasive devices. If validated across broader workflows, the approach could reduce delays in referrals and improve equity of access to diagnostic assessment for suspected structural heart disease.
