NCT ID NCT07379567
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to see if a simple breath test can help doctors quickly tell which patients with chest pain are at high risk for a heart attack or other serious condition. Researchers will collect breath samples from 6,000 adults coming to the emergency room with chest pain and analyze the chemicals they breathe out. The goal is to create a fast, non-invasive tool to improve triage and reduce missed diagnoses.
