Helping ER chest pain patients understand heart risk
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is testing a new way to talk with people about their heart health after they come to the Emergency Room with chest pain. It aims to help you understand your risk and what you can do to prevent future problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had chest pain and went to the Emergency Department.
- Your troponin (a heart damage marker) test came back in a certain middle range.
- You live in Scotland and have a CHI number.
- You are 17 or older.
- You have never been diagnosed with heart disease.
- You have at least one heart risk factor (like smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, or being overweight).

This trial tests a new way to check heart risk and start treatment for cholesterol in people coming to the emergency room with chest pain or possible heart attack. It aims to see if early risk assessment and treatment can prevent future heart problems.
This study is developing a tool to better predict heart-related risks for people who come to the emergency department with chest pain. It may help doctors decide who needs more testing or monitoring.
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 compares a personalized evaluation approach to standard care for people with new chest pain who might have heart disease. It aims to see if tailoring tests can improve diagnosis and outcomes.
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 trial tests whether a tailored prevention plan can improve outcomes and help with costs for people at high risk of coronary heart disease. You may join if you’ve had recent heart events or scans show significant blockage, and if you can follow the visit and app requirements.
