CHEST PAIN

This study tests whether specially trained nurses can diagnose and manage non-traumatic chest pain in the emergency department as effectively as doctors. About 182 adults with chest pain will be randomly assigned to either a nurse-led or standard doctor-led care. The goal is to s…

This study tests a new CT scan that works without an ECG to quickly check for heart disease in people with chest pain and high troponin levels. About 230 adults will get this scan plus the standard invasive test to see if the new method is accurate enough to reduce unnecessary pr…

This study aims to see if a new, non-invasive test called magnetocardiography (MCG) can accurately identify heart attacks. Researchers will enroll about 3,841 healthy volunteers and people with chest pain. They will compare MCG results with standard tests like EKGs and blood test…

This study tests a new rapid blood test (TriageTrue hs-cTnI) that can rule out heart attacks in just one hour, right in emergency primary care clinics. Researchers will enroll 2,500 adults with chest pain across six Norwegian clinics to see if the test safely reduces hospital ref…

This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) can improve symptoms of non-cardiac chest pain — chest pain that is not caused by the heart. Ten adults with this condition will use VR and report changes in pain, anxiety, and quality of life. The goal is to see if VR is a feas…

This study tests whether the drug vericiguat can improve blood flow in the tiny vessels of the heart and reduce chest pain in people who have no major blockages. Researchers will enroll 94 adults aged 40 to 75 with stable chest pain and use heart scans and exercise tests to measu…

This study looks at whether people with chest pain who are at moderate risk for a heart attack can be safely and effectively evaluated outside the hospital instead of being admitted. About 500 adults will be randomly assigned to either a rapid outpatient evaluation or standard ho…

This study aims to make emergency phone triage more accurate by using artificial intelligence (AI). Researchers will analyze millions of past emergency calls to see if AI can help operators quickly identify serious conditions like heart attack, stroke, or breathing trouble. The g…

This study aims to improve how doctors diagnose sudden chest pain that is not caused by injury. Researchers will use machine learning to analyze data from 10,000 emergency room patients. The goal is to speed up accurate diagnosis and reduce missed or wrong diagnoses of serious he…

This study checks how common a hidden heart condition called cardiac amyloidosis is in men over 65 who have chest pain but no blocked arteries. Participants will have blood tests, heart scans, and other exams to find the condition. No treatment is given—the goal is to learn how o…
