NCT ID NCT06836466
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study surveyed 640 physicians to see how well they recognize ECG patterns that indicate a heart attack requiring immediate treatment. The goal was to identify which patterns doctors spot easily and which they might miss, as well as patterns that could lead to unnecessary procedures. The results will help understand where more training is needed.
