The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the influence of ultrasound on cardiac functrion.
The main question it aims to answer is:
How will ultrasound affect the cardiac function?
Researchers will: Apply ultrasound to the body and observe cardiac functions.
Participants will:
Receive ultrasound application and physiological signal monitoring.
All procedures conducted in this trial comply with the ethical standards of the relevant national and institutional committees on human experimentation and with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975, as revised in 2008. All procedures were approved by the Research Ethics Committee of ShanghaiTech University (Q2024-004).
The primary outcome is heart rhythm. It will be measured by electrocardiogram. The secondary primary outcome is the incidence of treatment-related adverse events. It will be measured by electrocardiogram and observation.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Heart rhythm. | Monitor participants' electrocardiogram before, during and after ultrasound application. Calculate heart rate from the electrocardiogram signal. The change of heart rate is calculated as the rate of change relative to the baseline heart rate. Aggregate the data and do statistical analysis. Data will be presented as mean with standard deviations. | Throughout the intervention, an average of 1 hour. |
| Incidence of treatment-related adverse events. | The incidence of treatment-related adverse events includes both minor (such as localized discomfort, transient arrhythmias, mild chest pain, short-term dizziness, nausea, and temporary shortness of breath) and severe adverse events (including sustained arrhythmias, new-onset heart failure, significant myocardial injury, embolic events, or death). | Baseline, during the intervention (an average of 1 hour) and immediately after the intervention (same day, approximately 1 hour after baseline). |
