CHEST PAIN

This study tests whether specially trained nurses can safely diagnose and manage non-traumatic chest pain in the emergency department. About 182 adults with chest pain will be randomly assigned to either nurse-led or standard doctor-led care. The goal is to see if nurse-led care …

This study tests a new CT scan that works without an ECG to quickly check for heart disease in people with chest pain and high troponin levels. About 230 adults will get this scan plus the standard invasive test to see if the new method is accurate. If it works well, it could red…

This study tests a new, noninvasive technique called magnetocardiography (MCG) to see if it can accurately identify heart attacks. Researchers will enroll about 3,800 healthy volunteers and people with chest pain. They will compare MCG results with standard tests like EKGs and bl…

This study tests a new rapid blood test (TriageTrue hs-cTnI) that can rule out heart attacks in just one hour, right in emergency primary care clinics. Researchers will enroll 2,500 adults with chest pain across six Norwegian clinics to see if the test safely reduces hospital ref…

This study tests if using virtual reality (VR) can improve symptoms of non-cardiac chest pain — chest pain that isn't from a heart problem. Ten adults with this condition will try VR sessions, and researchers will measure changes in pain, anxiety, and quality of life using questi…

This study tests whether the drug vericiguat can improve blood flow in the tiny vessels of the heart and reduce chest pain in people who have no major blockages. Researchers will enroll 94 adults aged 40 to 75 with stable chest pain and use heart scans and exercise tests to measu…

This study looks at men over 65 who have chest pain but no blocked arteries. Researchers want to find out how many of them have a hidden heart condition called cardiac amyloidosis. Participants will have blood tests, heart scans, and other exams. No treatment is given—this is onl…

This study tests whether artificial intelligence can help emergency call operators quickly identify serious conditions like heart attack, stroke, or breathing trouble. Researchers will analyze millions of past emergency calls to build and compare AI models. The goal is to reduce …

This study looks at whether people with chest pain who are at moderate risk for a heart attack can be safely evaluated as outpatients instead of being admitted to the hospital. About 502 adults will be randomly assigned to either rapid outpatient testing or standard hospital care…

This study will enroll 10,000 adults who come to the emergency room with chest pain that is not caused by injury. The goal is to use machine learning to help doctors quickly and accurately figure out what is causing the pain, which can range from harmless to life-threatening. By …
