Heart failure clues hiding in your ECG?
NCT ID NCT07601022
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a detailed analysis of an electrocardiogram (ECG) can give doctors more information about patients hospitalized with acute heart failure. Researchers will look at how the ECG results relate to lab tests and patient outcomes over one year. The goal is to see if this simple test can help predict who might be at higher risk, without providing any direct treatment.
