Pocket-Sized ECG could spot heart attacks in minutes
NCT ID NCT07715474
First seen Jul 20, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a compact 3-lead ECG device can accurately detect acute coronary syndrome (heart attack) in adults arriving at the emergency department with chest pain. Participants receive a HeartBeam ECG recording within 10 minutes of the standard 12-lead ECG. The goal is to compare the device's sensitivity and specificity against the gold-standard diagnosis.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- HeartBeam 3-dimensional 3-lead ECG system
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this portable ECG could enable faster, more accessible heart attack detection in emergency settings.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study, so results may not confirm the device's accuracy. The system is for research only and not yet used for patient care.
