Testing a magnetic sensor for artery blood flow
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new magnetic sensor that measures blood flow in your arteries, comparing it to the standard method. It takes place in the heart-lung unit at Montpellier University Hospital, and aims to see if the sensor is accurate for people with or without leg artery disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are currently a patient in the heart-lung unit at Montpellier University Hospital.
- You may or may not have lower extremity artery disease (LEAD) – a condition that narrows arteries in your legs.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You do not have any metal implant (like a pacemaker or stent) in the area where the device will be used.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you are able to give consent.

This trial uses ultrasound to check how well the heart pumps in people with blocked leg arteries. It aims to find early signs of heart strain that standard tests might miss.
This trial uses a special imaging test (photoacoustic tomography) to see how well blood flows in the legs. It is for people with or without peripheral artery disease (PAD) to help improve diagnosis.
This study tests a new way to measure blood pressure by using a light sensor on your fingertip, instead of a traditional arm cuff. It aims to see if this optical method works as well as standard blood pressure checks.
This study tests a new automated way to measure the blood pressure in your ankles, which helps doctors check for narrowed leg arteries. It is a pilot study, meaning it looks at whether this automatic method works well and is comfortable, which could make testing easier in the future.
This trial tests a new camera that uses light to check blood flow in your legs. It compares the camera's results to standard tests like ABI and Doppler ultrasound to see if it works as well.
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.
