NCT ID NCT05649384
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Summary
This study compares two blood test schedules for diagnosing heart attacks in the emergency room: the standard 3-hour test and a newer 1-hour test. Over 64,000 adults with chest pain will be enrolled to see if the faster test is just as safe and accurate. If it works, patients could get diagnosed and treated much sooner.
