Testing a simpler 4-patch ECG vs standard 10-patch ECG
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is testing a new, simpler ECG device (with only 4 sticky patches) against the standard 10-patch ECG. It's for people with heart conditions who are either in the hospital or visiting a cardiologist, and aims to see if the new device is easier to use and still gives a clear reading.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial is testing a new algorithm that uses a simple, one-lead ECG (heart tracing) to measure how fast electrical signals travel through the heart. Researchers want to see if the algorithm works well in people whose heart intervals are slightly outside the normal range, which may help doctors better monitor heart conditions.
This study tests how easy it is to use a new device that records your heart's electrical activity through a simple patch on your chest. You will need to use a smartphone app with the patch.
This study tests a new handheld ECG device at two Dutch hospitals. It records your heart's electrical activity, but you hold it instead of using sticky patches, to see if it's just as good for checking heart problems.
This study tests an AI-powered wearable patch (the COR ECG) to see if it can better track heart and lung health. It may help doctors find problems earlier without needing bulky equipment.
This study tests whether using a handheld ECG device at home can help monitor and detect heart rhythm problems in people with unexplained palpitations or dizziness. Participants will use a smartphone-connected device to record their heart's electrical activity and improve diagnosis.
This trial tests if a simple single-wire ECG can help spot heart problems or related conditions. It may help by making heart screening easier and faster.
