A Study to Assess the Accuracy of Magnetocardiography (MCG) to Diagnose True Ischemia in Patients With Chest Pain in the ED

A Prospective, Blinded, Observational Study to Assess the Accuracy of Magnetocardiography (MCG) as a Tool for Diagnosing Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) in Emergency Department Patients Presenting With Acute Chest Pain

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 13 Jan 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The purpose of the research is to see if patients that come to the Emergency Department with chest pain can be more accurately and more quickly diagnosed by magnetocardiography (MCG) to see if their chest pain is caused by coronary ischemia (reduced blood flow to the heart) in patients with normal or have non-specific changes on the ECG vs other causes by other reasons.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Metal implants in the body (that are not MRI safe).

Other

  • ST elevation \> 1 mm on any two contiguous ECG leads.
  • Hemodynamic instability (SBP \>220 or \<80, HR \>160).
  • Pregnant patients.
  • Incarcerated patients (FMC patients).
  • Patients with a pacemaker or defibrillator.
  • Patients that are unable to lie down in the MCG machine or stay still.
  • Patients who are unable to understand the informed consent process (ex: non-English speakers without an available interpreter, cognitive delay).
  • Patients without the capacity to provide written informed consent

Who the study is looking for

  • Patients presenting to the ED with acute chest pain when an ACS is on the differential diagnosis.
  • Patient willing and able to give informed consent.
