Testing a new heart scan for blocked arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a heart catheterization or a procedure to open blocked arteries (like angioplasty or stenting) for chest pain or a heart attack.
- You are able to follow the study instructions.
- You agree to the study and sign a consent form before the procedure begins.
- You are not currently having a severe heart attack (STEMI).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have an ongoing atrial fibrillation episode on your most recent ECG, and you have no metal implants in your chest.

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 study uses a new type of heart scan (MCG) to help understand cardiac amyloidosis. It may help doctors learn more about the condition without needing invasive tests.
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 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 trial tests whether a non-invasive heart mapping technique can guide treatment for stable coronary artery disease, potentially avoiding more expensive or invasive tests. You may join if you have stable angina and a blockage of 50-90% in a major heart artery.
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.
