Magnetic heart test could revolutionize heart attack diagnosis

NCT ID NCT05896826

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new, noninvasive device that uses ultra-sensitive magnetocardiography to detect heart attacks. Researchers will enroll nearly 4,000 healthy volunteers and chest pain patients to see if this magnetic scan can identify heart damage more accurately than current methods like EKGs and blood tests. The goal is to build a reliable diagnostic model that could lead to quicker, safer heart attack detection.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Magnetometer (device for magnetocardiography)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a faster, more accurate way to diagnose heart attacks without needles or radiation.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage study at one hospital, and the device's accuracy needs to be proven against existing tests. It may not work for all patients or be widely available soon.
