Heart scan without ECG for chest pain with high troponin
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 30 years or older.
- You have chest pain that started recently, and your troponin levels are high.
- You have not had a heart stent or bypass surgery before.
- Your kidneys work well enough (eGFR above 30).
- You do not have a known severely weak heart muscle (ejection fraction below 30%).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and do not have a history of atrial fibrillation or congenital heart disease.

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 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 using a computer-assisted program to read a heart CT scan can help doctors quickly and accurately diagnose chest pain in the emergency department. If the AI helps, it could lead to faster decisions and better care.
This study uses a CT scan of your heart (CCTA) and advanced computer analysis to see how well it can predict heart risks compared to detailed inside-look tests (IVUS, OCT, NIRS). If you have chest pain and have had certain heart scans, this trial may help doctors understand your condition better.
This trial tests whether a special CT scan of the heart can help doctors see blockages in people who survived a cardiac arrest but did not have a typical heart attack. If you qualify, the CT scan might provide important information without needing a standard heart catheterization first.
