Active clinical trials for "Chest Pain"

The overall question the investigators would like to help answer is whether SE with or without MCE data can be widely used as a first line investigation in women with no previous history of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) who present with chest pain of recent onset. In order to answer this question the investigators will look at the following: i) Is SE superior to ExECG in terms of cost to diagnosis and negative predictive value of CAD? ii) What is the additive value of myocardial perfusion data to wall motion data for predicting significant CAD on angiography and future cardiac events in women? iii) What is the additive value of Carotid ultrasonography in a large population of women referred for stress testing?

The purpose of this study is to determine the best initial test in patients admitted to the hospital complaining of chest pain.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether focused sonography of the heart, lungs and deep veins can increase the number of patients with respiratory symptoms correctly diagnosed in an emergency department.

A prospective single clinical trial to validate the use of a low-dose (~5mSv) Tc-99m protocol with a high-efficiency cardiac dedicated camera (Dynamic Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography; D-SPECT) to detect myocardial perfusion abnormalities during myocardial perfusion imaging.

To assess diagnostic and prognostic value of new biomarkers in patients admitted for suspicion of non ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE ACS).

The purpose of this study is to determine the usefulness of 64 slice multi-detector computed tomography as a first diagnostic approach in acute chest pain patients in emergency room

Patients with ipsilateral multiple rib fractures will be randomized to receive either a single-shot ultrasound-guided serratus plane block, or a continuous serratus plane block within 24h from the chest trauma. Primary outcome is the difference in forced respiratory volume (FEV1) at 72h.

The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of three different treatment modalities on panic symptoms, quality of life and use of health services among individuals consulting an emergency department for non cardiac chest pain and having Panic Disorder.

This study is to see whether the low-dose coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) protocol is as safe and efficacious as conventional-dose protocol in early triage of acute chest pain.

This study would like to identify the best starting dose and infusion rate for nerve blocks and nerve catheters related to the erector spinae plane block that can improve functional status and pain control on cardiac surgery patients and minimize the necessity for opioid pain control using a continuous reassessment model.
