NCT ID NCT06939738

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study tests an artificial intelligence platform called Willem that analyzes electrocardiograms (ECGs) to detect heart attacks. Researchers will compare how fast and accurately the AI spots heart attack patterns versus human doctors. The study involves 500 adults who have had a heart attack and will look at whether the AI can speed up diagnosis and treatment.
