Diagnosis of Myocardial Ischemia With MCG Using SPECT as a Reference Standard

Identification of Myocardial Ischemia With Magnetocardiography Using Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) as a Reference Standard


Sponsor

Qilu Hospital of Shandong University

Enrollment

228 participants

Start Date

Feb 12, 2024

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This is a prospective clinical study aiming to investigate the efficacy of Magnetocardiography (MCG) in detecting myocardial ischemia in patients of a suspected non-ST-elevation-acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) by using Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) as the gold standard for determining the presence and severity of myocardial ischemia.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study compares a new non-invasive heart scan technology called magnetocardiography (MCG) against the standard nuclear medicine test (SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging) for diagnosing reduced blood flow to the heart (myocardial ischemia). MCG is radiation-free and can be done without stress testing, potentially making heart disease diagnosis safer and more accessible. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older with symptoms of reduced blood flow to the heart (chest pain or angina) - Coronary angiography or CT has shown less than 70% blockage in your arteries - You have signed informed consent **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have had a heart attack in the last 48 hours - You have asthma or an allergy to adenosine injection (used in some stress tests) - You have significant left main coronary artery blockage - You have cardiomyopathy (non-ischemic), moderate/severe valve disease, or hemodynamic instability - You have severe heart rhythm problems Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
