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:
- Does AI-assisted ECG interpretation enable more timely identification and treatment of OMI, as defined by earlier initiation of coronary intervention?
- 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:
- Present with symptoms suggestive of ACS but without clear STEMI criteria
- Be randomized 1:1 to either AI-assisted or standard ECG interpretation
- Undergo follow-up assessments for cardiovascular outcomes, including 30-day death, time to treatment of total coronary occlusion, and peak hsTnT levels
