Detecting heart murmurs in emergency patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is testing a device that listens to heart murmurs when you come to the hospital with symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, or fainting. It helps doctors find serious heart problems earlier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- Your main reason for coming in is chest pain, shortness of breath, trouble breathing, fainting or nearly fainting, or weakness (if you’re over 50 and have certain health conditions)
- If your main symptom is weakness, you must be over 50 and have had at least two of: high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, atrial fibrillation, heart attack, stroke/TIA, prior heart surgery, or angiography
- You are not in contact isolation (a special precaution for certain infections)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is testing a new electronic stethoscope (called Keikku) to see if it works well and is safe for checking heart murmurs in children and adults who are not in an emergency situation. If it works, it could give doctors a better tool for evaluating heart sounds.
This study tests a small chest sensor that tracks your heart activity while you're in the hospital. It may help doctors better manage heart failure and prevent future crises.
This study tests if a digital stethoscope and a simple 3-lead ECG (heart rhythm test) can detect two heart conditions: high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension) and low pumping strength of the heart (low ejection fraction). It's intended for adults who recently had a heart ultrasound or a heart catheterization.
This study tests a home monitoring device and follow-up care for people recently treated for heart failure in the emergency room. It aims to help manage your condition and avoid future hospital stays.
This study is testing a new device that records heart and lung sounds to see if it can help doctors better understand heart and lung conditions. You may be eligible if you have a known heart condition or if you are generally healthy, and if you've had or will have an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) in the last or next year.
This study tests whether a smartphone can take a 12-lead ECG (a heart tracing) quickly when someone arrives at the ER with chest pain, to help doctors spot a heart attack sooner.
