New ECG method to quickly sort chest pain in ER
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have new or worse chest pain that led you to the emergency room
- You have not been diagnosed with a STEMI (a major type of heart attack)
- You are not in shock or having a cardiac arrest
- You do not have a dangerous heart rhythm problem
- You do not have a narrowed aorta or a blood clot in your lungs

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
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 checks whether a magnet-based heart scan (magnetocardiography) can more accurately find “true ischemia,” which means reduced blood flow to the heart, in people who come to the emergency room with chest pain. It aims to help doctors tell which chest pain is truly from heart blood-flow problems.
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 study tests whether an artificial intelligence program can help doctors quickly identify a serious heart condition called aortic dissection from a standard ECG test. If successful, it could speed up diagnosis and treatment for people with chest pain.
