Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

AI-assisted ECG interpretation

Participants will receive ECG interpretation supported by a CE-marked artificial intelligence (AI) tool (PMcardio, Powerful Medical). The AI output is made available to clinicians in real time, prior to diagnostic or therapeutic decisions, to facilitate earlier identification of occlusion myocardial infarction (OMI) and potentially expedite intervention.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

AI-assisted ECG interpretation (PMcardio)

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Participants in the experimental arm will undergo 12-lead ECG interpretation supported by a CE-marked artificial intelligence (AI) tool (PMcardio, Powerful Medical, Slovakia). The AI algorithm analyzes ECG data in real time to detect patterns suggestive of occlusion myocardial infarction (OMI), including cases not meeting traditional ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) criteria. In the experimental arm, the AI output is provided immediately to the treating clinician and used as an adjunct to standard ECG interpretation to support timely diagnosis and management decisions.

Standard of Care

Participants will receive standard ECG interpretation without AI support. Clinical decisions regarding diagnosis and treatment will follow usual care pathways, without influence from the AI tool. This arm serves as the comparator to evaluate the added value of AI integration.
