Rapid chest-pain evaluation for moderate-risk adults
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a faster “ambulatory rapid evaluation” approach for adults who come in with chest pain that could be heart-related, but is not clearly an emergency. It may help doctors quickly sort who is safe to send home and who needs urgent heart testing, using specific ECG and blood test results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 21 or older
- Have new chest pain symptoms being checked for possible acute coronary syndrome (ACS)
- Be “moderate risk” based on a Heart Score of 4–6
- ECG (heart tracing) should not show signs of ischemia or serious ST changes
- Have two blood troponin tests that are both below the lab’s sex-specific upper limit and show no big change

This trial tests if a coronary CT scan (without needing an ECG) can safely guide care for people who come to the emergency room with chest pain and a high troponin level. It aims to see if this approach works as well as standard tests.
This trial is for people who come to the emergency room with new or worsening chest pain not caused by an injury. It aims to build an early warning system to better classify and treat chest pain.
This trial tests whether using a special heart CT scan (with blood-flow analysis) can better guide care for people who come to the ER with chest pain and are at medium risk for heart problems. It might help avoid unnecessary procedures and find real blockages sooner.
This study tests a new heart scan (MCG) that may help doctors quickly tell if chest pain is caused by a heart problem. It is done in the emergency department before the second blood test for heart damage.
This study tests a new ECG-based technology that may help doctors more quickly sort out the cause of your chest pain in the emergency room. If you have chest pain that needs checking, this tool could help decide how urgent your care is.
This trial is checking a quick bedside blood test (troponin) for people who come to the emergency room with chest pain. It aims to see if the test can help doctors decide faster if you are having a heart attack.
