Magnetic heart scan for heart disease and rhythm problems
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a new, painless machine that measures the heart's tiny magnetic signals from outside your body, without touching you. It may help doctors better diagnose heart problems (like blocked arteries or irregular heartbeats) after standard tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have had an ECG (a test that records your heart's electrical activity) for suspected irregular heartbeats, OR a stress test for suspected blocked heart arteries.
- You cannot have metal or magnetic implants (like a pacemaker, mechanical heart valve, or joint replacement) because they could interfere with the test.
Quick eligibility check

This study tests a new magnetic heart scan (MCG) to see if it can better detect blocked arteries causing chest pain or heart attacks. It may help doctors decide the best treatment for you.
This trial is testing a new magnetic heart scan (MCG) to see if it can better detect blockages in people with chest pain that is not a full heart attack. If you are having chest pain and are already scheduled for a heart catheterization or CT scan, this study might help find the cause more accurately.
This study checks whether a magnet-based heart scan (magnetocardiography) can more accurately find “true ischemia,” which means reduced blood flow to the heart, in people who come to the emergency room with chest pain. It aims to help doctors tell which chest pain is truly from heart blood-flow problems.
This trial tests a new way to measure blood flow in the heart, called MCG, for people who have chest pain but no severe blockages in their arteries. If you have symptoms like angina and your tests show only mild narrowing, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether magnetocardiography—a scan that measures heart signals using magnets—can more accurately identify myocardial infarction (heart attack). It may help doctors detect heart attacks faster and more accurately using safer, non-invasive testing.
This study tests a new heart scan (MCG) that may help doctors quickly tell if chest pain is caused by a heart problem. It is done in the emergency department before the second blood test for heart damage.
