Using ECG tracings to detect blocked heart arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a special ECG (heart tracing) analysis can help detect blockages in the heart's arteries, compared with standard heart imaging. It may help doctors diagnose coronary artery disease more easily using just a simple ECG.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- Your medical records must be stored electronically.
- You were suspected of having coronary artery disease (blocked heart arteries) and had an ECG (heart tracing) recorded within 30 days before a heart CT scan.
- You are not currently having a heart attack (acute coronary syndrome).
- You have not had bypass heart surgery or a stent placed in your heart arteries before.
- Your ECG, heart CT scan, and any invasive heart catheterization must be of good quality and complete.

This trial uses special imaging to look at how blood flows through the heart's arteries. It aims to see if certain blood flow patterns can predict where harmful plaque (fatty buildups) may grow, which could help prevent future heart problems.
This study looks at whether a new tool called ECGio can help doctors spot heart conditions during routine checkups. If you have common risk factors like high blood pressure or diabetes, this might help catch problems earlier.
This study tests whether an AI-powered single-lead ECG (a simple heart tracing) can help detect narrowed coronary arteries. If successful, it could offer a simpler way to screen for heart disease.
This study uses a computer program (artificial intelligence) to look at a non-contrast CT scan (a type of scan without dye) that you already had for chest pain. It aims to detect if you have blockages in your heart arteries, potentially helping find heart disease earlier.
This study tests a non-invasive CT scan method to detect blockages in the heart arteries in people with suspected stable coronary artery disease. The goal is to find a safe and accurate way to diagnose without invasive procedures.
This trial looks at people with a blockage in a heart artery of 50% or more. It tests a new way to check the blockage using a special CT scan. This could help decide the best treatment to prevent future heart problems.
