CHEST PAIN

This study tests a new CT scan that works without an ECG to quickly check for heart artery blockages in people with chest pain and high troponin levels. About 230 adults will get this CT scan followed by the standard invasive coronary angiography to see how accurate the new metho…

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

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 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 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 evaluated as outpatients instead of being admitted to the hospital. About 502 adults with chest pain will be randomly assigned to either a rapid outpatient evaluation or s…

This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) can improve symptoms of non-cardiac chest pain, a condition where people feel chest pain but tests show no heart problem. Ten adults with this condition will use VR sessions and report changes in pain, anxiety, and quality of li…

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…

This study aims to improve how emergency call operators identify life-threatening conditions like heart attack, stroke, and breathing problems over the phone. Researchers will analyze millions of past emergency calls using artificial intelligence to find patterns that help spot s…

This study is enrolling 10,000 adults who come to the emergency room with sudden chest pain that is not caused by injury. The goal is to see if a computer model can help doctors quickly figure out the cause of the pain and reduce mistakes. Participants will be followed to track s…
