Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Participants will be exposed to auscultation done with a digital stethoscope. The patient's heart sounds audio will be recorded and analysed remotely. An Echocardiography will follow, which is done as a part of the patient's routine investigation.

We estimate that the auscultation will not add to the patient visit at the Echocardiography laboratory more than 5-10 minutes. An Echocardiograph which is done as part of the patient routine investigation and done in accordance to standard of care will follow and is estimated to take approximately 45 minutes. This will conclude the participant involvement in the trial.

The gathered data would be used to train an Artificial-Intelligence system to identify valvular heart diseases based on auscultation.
