Magnetic heart scan could spot hidden chest pain causes
NCT ID NCT07657546
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a magnetocardiography (MCG) device can detect reduced blood flow to the heart muscle in people with acute chest pain but no major artery blockages. About 3,786 participants will undergo MCG scanning, and results will be compared to a standard ultrasound test. If accurate, MCG could become a faster, non-invasive tool for diagnosing non-obstructive myocardial ischemia.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Magnetocardiography device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a non-invasive, quick way to diagnose heart muscle oxygen shortage in patients whose arteries appear normal on standard tests.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early diagnostic study, not a treatment trial. The device's accuracy may not be high enough to replace current methods, and results may not apply to all chest pain patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18 years or older; * Patients with symptoms of myocardial ischemia such as angina pectoris, who have CAG showing \<70% stenosis at the most severe site or CTA showing non-severe stenosis * Signed informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with absolute or relative contraindications to CFR-loaded myocardial perfusion, including acute myocardial infarction within 48 hours, significant left main coronary artery stenosis, bronchial asthma, and adenosine injection allergy; * Patients with Non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy, or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or moderate or severe valvular disease; * Patients with Hemodynamic instability (systolic blood pressure\<90 mmHg, or who requires vasoactive drugs), or patients with tachyarrhythmia, #degree atrioventricular block and above that have not returned to normal; * Patients who have severe renal abnormality with eGFR \<30 ml/min, or patients who are on dialysis; * Patients with malignant tumors with predicted survival of less than 1 year; * Pregnant or breastfeeding women; * Patients who are unable to enter the MCG device, who are unable to perform MCG examination due to interference from metal implants or other reasons, or who are deemed by the investigators to be unsuitable for enrollment.
