What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looks at whether the neck-to-waist ratio can help identify patients with high blood pressure and a specific type of heart attack. Researchers measured body shapes of 238 adults arriving at the emergency room with chest pain. The goal is to see if simple body measurements can reveal hidden risks that standard tests might miss.

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 give doctors a simple, quick way to identify dangerous heart attack patterns using just a tape measure.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The findings may not apply to all patients and need further validation.
