Trial summary

The NIA algorithm is similar to the traditional 12-lead ECG equipment. By analyzing patient data, NIA algorithm provides more detailed results compared to traditional 12-lead ECG. Patients with suspected coronary artery disease are conventionally diagnosed and treated by cardiac catheterization. Read more about this study

About this study

The NIA algorithm is similar to the traditional 12-lead ECG equipment. By analyzing patient data, NIA algorithm provides more detailed results compared to traditional 12-lead ECG. Patients with suspected coronary artery disease are conventionally diagnosed and treated by cardiac catheterization. However, cardiac catheterization is invasive procedure. Unless clinical diagnosis is evident before cardiac catheterization, a treadmill exercise test, a nuclear medicine myocardial perfusion test, or a multi-direction coronary CT angiogram is usually performed to increase the accuracy of diagnosis. But these examinations are not accessible to all patients, and are time-consuming and costly.

Read the detailed description

In this project, the investigators hope to compare the data collected under this new technology of NIA algorithm with results from final diagnoses of cardiac catheterization. As the NIA algorithm is a fast and less costly, if it provides more sensitivity and specificity than does exercise ECG, nuclear myocardial perfusion test, and high-resolution coronary CT angiogram, it will expedite diagnosis for patients with coronary artery disease.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Coronary Syndrome and Myocardial Ischemia, run by Taichung Veterans General Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yu-Tsung Cheng, M.D. (886423592525 ext. 3141, asphyxia747@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) (time frame: within the first 180 days after PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02579512, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Oct 2015.
