Could a home test replace hospital visits for chest pain?

NCT ID NCT06325020

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

The ORACLE study is testing a new way to evaluate people with possible angina (chest pain) within one day of their doctor's referral. Participants fill out a digital health questionnaire at home, then have an ECG and a blood test for heart damage markers. The goal is to see if this quick, community-based risk assessment is feasible and can sort patients into low, intermediate, or high risk for future heart problems.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to faster, more convenient chest pain assessments, reducing hospital visits and helping doctors identify high-risk patients sooner.

What could go wrong

This is an early feasibility study with only 500 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It does not test a new treatment, only a new assessment process.
