Using MCG to assess heart blood flow in stable artery disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new magnetic heart scan (called MCG) to see if it can better detect when your heart isn't getting enough blood. It is for people with stable chest discomfort and a previous heart CT that showed moderate blockages in the arteries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have stable coronary artery disease (no recent heart attack or sudden worsening).
- A recent heart CT (CTA) showed a narrowed artery between 30% and 90%.
- You have not had heart bypass surgery.
- You do not have a pacemaker or other metal that can't go in an MRI-like machine.
- You are not allergic to the contrast dye used in CT scans.
- Your heart pumps well enough (ejection fraction 50% or higher).

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 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 a new, noninvasive way to detect reduced blood flow to the heart (myocardial ischemia) using a magnetic heart scan called MCG. If you have chest pain or similar symptoms but your narrowed arteries are not severely blocked, this trial may help diagnose your condition more accurately.
This trial checks how accurate a magnetocardiography (MCG) scan is in people who are being evaluated for possible coronary artery disease. It may help doctors choose better diagnostic tests by comparing the scan results to the standard evaluation you are already getting.
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 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.
