ECG tests by nursing assistants in the emergency department
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether nursing assistants can perform electrocardiograms (ECGs), which are heart tests, in the emergency department. It aims to see if this is safe and effective, which could help reduce wait times for patients.

This study looks at whether the type of electrocardiogram (a test that checks your heart's rhythm) done by the emergency dispatch team affects how quickly you get treatment for a heart attack. It may help improve emergency care for future patients.
This study is testing whether a connected watch (like a smartwatch) can accurately record your heart's electrical activity (an ECG) during a hospital stay or clinic visit. If it works well, it could make checking your heart easier and more convenient.
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 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.
This study checks a more detailed kind of heart recording (ECG) using many small sensors to better measure electrical rhythm problems. It may help doctors refine how they assess risk in people with serious or suspected dangerous heart rhythm issues.
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.
