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 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 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 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.
This study compares two heart-imaging methods: a newer magnetic scan (MCG) and a standard nuclear scan (ECT) for people with symptoms of reduced blood flow to the heart. If you are already scheduled for an ECT scan, taking part may help doctors learn if the MCG is a good alternative—with no radiation and a shorter test.
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.
