Magnetocardiography in the Accurate Identification of Myocardial Infarction

Recruiting

• Conditions: Chest Pain; Acute Coronary Syndrome; Myocardial Infarction
• Interventions: Device: Magnetometer

• Registration Number: NCT05896826
• Lead Sponsor: Qilu Hospital of Shandong University

Brief Summary

Magnetocardiography (MCG) is a promising noninvasive and accurate method for detecting myocardial infarction. Although progress has been made in this area, there is a lack of studies using up-to-date examination instruments for the calibration of MCG analysis. This is a prospective single-center study aiming to build accurate analytical models of MCG to detect myocardial infarction. Myocardial infarction are diagnosed by electrocardiogram, biomarkers (high-sensitivity cardiac troponin, etc), or non-invasive imaging (cardiac magnetic resonance or single-photon-emission tomography). Myocardial infarction is also quantified by cardiac magnetic resonance or single-photon-emission tomography. Healthy volunteers and chest pain patients who will receive electrocardiogram, biomarkers (high-sensitivity cardiac troponin, etc), or non-invasive imaging (cardiac magnetic resonance or single-photon-emission tomography) examination will be enrolled in this study.
