Study on ECGs in emergency dispatch for heart attacks
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether using electrocardiograms (ECGs) taken outside the hospital by emergency medical services (SAMU) helps speed up care for heart attack patients. If you had a specific type of heart attack called STEMI and were treated by SAMU 91 in France, your data may help improve emergency dispatch strategies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- Your emergency call was handled by SAMU 91 in the Essonne region of France between September 2023 and December 2024.
- You had a coronary angiogram (a test to look at your heart arteries) because of a specific type of heart attack called ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
- You are enrolled in the E-Must registry, a research database for heart attack patients treated by emergency services in the Île-de-France area.

This study tests a new way to quickly decide where to take patients with a suspected heart attack who don't have a specific ECG finding (ST-elevation). The goal is to improve care by better matching patients to the right hospital before they arrive.
This study tests whether nursing assistants can perform electrocardiograms (ECGs) in the emergency department as well as usual staff. If you are an adult ER patient needing an ECG, you might be eligible.
This study looks at how often people coming to the emergency room with a certain type of heart attack (non-ST elevation) have serious problems with their heart rhythm. The goal is to understand which patients need extra monitoring.
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 study tests whether a quick blood test done by paramedics in the ambulance can safely rule out a heart attack in patients with chest pain or similar symptoms. The goal is to help patients get faster, more accurate care before reaching the hospital.
This study follows people who have had a heart attack very recently (within 48 hours) to evaluate care and outcomes. You may be invited if your diagnosis fits a typical heart-attack pattern and you can consent.
