Heart attack prediction breakthrough? new AI reads ECG to spot artery blockages
NCT ID NCT07375810
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test a computer algorithm called ECGio that analyzes electrocardiograms (ECGs) to see if it can accurately detect significant coronary artery disease (blockages in heart arteries). Researchers will compare ECGio's results to standard imaging tests like angiograms and CT scans in about 978 adults suspected of having heart disease. If successful, ECGio could offer a faster, non-invasive way to diagnose artery blockages.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients 18 years of age or older at time of data collection. 2. Patients with medical records stored in a digitized format. 3. Patients under suspicion of coronary artery disease (both suspicion of significant coronary artery disease as well as to rule out significant CAD) who present to the site with an electrocardiogram recorded up to 30 days prior to Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with acute coronary syndrome. 2. Patients who previously underwent coronary artery bypass grafting. 3. Patients whose electrocardiogram tracing has extreme noise or artifact to the extent that it would be recommended to redo the tracing. 4. Patients with prior percutaneous coronary intervention resulting in stenting. 5. Unanalyzable invasive coronary angiogram. 6. Unanalyzable Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography. 7. Unanalyzable electrocardiogram signal. 8. Incomplete invasive coronary angiogram (e.g., only the right coronary artery was injected and visualized). 9. Patient core lab analyzed Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography showed ≥ 50% blockage in any vessel but patient was not referred to invasive coronary angiogram.
