Determination of Specificity and Sensitivity in Detecting Myocardial Infarction Using the EDE CARDIO BIO-MAP Machine, the EDE CARDIO BIO-MAP Study
The goal of this observational study is to learn whether a non-invasive electromagnetic wave scanner (EDE CARDIO BIO-MAP) can help diagnose myocardial infarction (heart attack) in adults (18 years and older) who come to the emergency department with chest pain and suspected myocardial infarction. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* How sensitive and specific is the EDE scanner in diagnosing myocardial infarction (MI) compared with standard blood tests (e.g., cardiac troponin)? * How sensitive and specific are the immediate blood measurements from a portable lab device compared with conventional hospital laboratory measurements? Researchers will compare the results of the EDE scanner and the portable lab with standard hospital blood test results and the final clinical diagnosis to see how accurately each detects MI.
Participants will:
* Have a research visit (30 minutes to 1 hour) during their emergency care, including a quick scan with the Exponential Deep Examination (EDE) device (attached to a phone or tablet) and a small research blood sample tested on a portable lab device * Repeat the scan and blood sample 4 to 6 hours later, only if a second blood draw is already needed for their clinical care * Answer questions about their medical and social history, and allow the study team to collect relevant results from their medical record Scanner results will not be shared with participants or used for their clinical care.
Inclusion: Age ≥18 years; Adults presenting to the emergency room for acute chest pain; English or Arabic speakers.
Exclusion: Adults with cognitive disorders; Pregnancy (self-reported); Unconscious patients; Citizens from countries where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, due to regulatory constraints.
