Acute Heart Failure: How a Quantitative ECG Helps Clinicians

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study analyzes the associations between quantitative electrocardiography (QCG) measurements and clinical and laboratory data in patients admitted with acute heart failure. Adults 19 or older who meet NT-proBNP criteria and have had an ECG are included, while those with congenital heart disease, dominant pacemakers, very high heart rates, or noisy ECGs are excluded. The goal is to understand how QCG features relate to patient characteristics and lab results to improve clinical insight. The work is conducted at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital under the lead sponsor Jin Joo Park with no listed collaborators.
