Overview

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether an artificial intelligence (AI)-based ECG interpretation tool improves the early diagnosis and treatment of occlusion myocardial infarction (OMI) in adults presenting with suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who do not meet traditional ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) criteria.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  1. Does AI-assisted ECG interpretation enable more timely identification and treatment of OMI, as defined by earlier initiation of coronary intervention?
  2. Does AI-assisted diagnosis reduce infarct size, measured by peak high-sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT) levels?

Researchers will compare AI-assisted ECG interpretation to standard care to determine if the AI tool improves clinical outcomes and care timelines.

Participants will:

  1. Present with symptoms suggestive of ACS but without clear STEMI criteria
  2. Be randomized 1:1 to either AI-assisted or standard ECG interpretation
  3. Undergo follow-up assessments for cardiovascular outcomes, including 30-day death, time to treatment of total coronary occlusion, and peak hsTnT levels

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Symptoms suspected of ongoing acute myocardial ischemia: Patients presenting with symptoms such as chest pain, dyspnoea, sweating, nausea or vomiting, pain radiating to the shoulder/arm/jaw/back, fatigue, or light-headedness
  2. Age: Patients aged 18 years or older.
  3. Informed Consent: Patients able to provide informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Clear diagnosis of ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI) according to managing physicians.
  2. Pregnancy or Lactation.
  3. Legally incompetent to provide informed consent.
  4. Symptoms onset\>24 hrs prior to clinical presentation.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
