Screening for pulmonary embolism with a single-lead ECG
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a simple, single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) can help quickly screen for a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs). It aims to make diagnosis faster and easier for patients who need to rule out this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You must have a medical reason to be checked for a blood clot in your lungs
- You must not have started blood-thinning medication before the ECG is taken
- You must be able to have a single-lead ECG placed on your upper arm or chest without issues (e.g., no missing arm or severe tremor)
- You must agree to participate and sign a consent form

This trial is testing if repeated imaging can help monitor blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism) over time. It may help doctors know how well treatment is working and if further care is needed.
This study tests a new imaging method called 3D-EIT (a safe, non-invasive electrical scan) to diagnose and track pulmonary embolism—dangerous blood clots in the lungs. If you've just been diagnosed with your first blood clot via CT scan, this trial may help doctors better understand and monitor your condition.
This study looks at whether a blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism) is a hidden cause in patients who are hospitalized for acute heart failure. It involves additional imaging tests to find a clot if present, which could change your treatment.
This research study tests a special chest CT scan to help diagnose acute pulmonary embolism—a blood clot that suddenly blocks blood flow in your lungs. You may qualify if you're already getting a CT scan for suspected lung clots and meet basic health requirements.
This study tests whether a simple single-lead heart monitor (ECG) can spot problems with your heart valves. It may be a quick, easy way to screen for valve disease.
This study tests whether a simple, single-lead heart rhythm test (ECG) enhanced by artificial intelligence can accurately detect blockages in heart arteries. If it works, this quick test could help doctors identify who needs further heart evaluations.
