MCG test for chest pain patients scheduled for heart scans
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have symptoms like chest pain that might be from your heart, and you are scheduled for a heart catheterization or CT scan.
- You do not have a type of heart attack called STEMI.
- You do not have certain other heart conditions (like non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or moderate to severe valve disease).
- You are stable enough (blood pressure above 90, no severe fast heart rhythm or heart block, no dialysis, no advanced cancer, not pregnant or breastfeeding).
- You can be safely placed in the MCG device without metal interference.

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 trial tests whether using a special heart CT scan (with blood-flow analysis) can better guide care for people who come to the ER with chest pain and are at medium risk for heart problems. It might help avoid unnecessary procedures and find real blockages sooner.
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.
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.
