According to the Women's Ischemic Syndrome Evaluation database, there are approximately 3 to 4 million women and men who present with signs and symptoms that are suggestive of myocardial ischemia, however they have no obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA). INOCA is defined as patients presenting with signs or symptoms of ischemia but no obstructive artery disease. Women are more likely than men to die from cardiovascular disease and more likely to present with no obstructive coronary artery disease. Patients who present with signs and symptoms suggestive of INOCA/MINOCA are also presenting with Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction (CMD). Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction is a dysfunction in the epicardial and/or microvascular endothelial and/or nonendothelial that limits myocardial perfusion. Today, there is no routinely offered/available noninvasive test that is used for the diagnosis of CMD, significantly hindering the ability to identify the disease in the standard of care. Magenetocardiography (MCG) has the opportunity to use its noninvasive imaging techniques to provide early management of CMD. Magnetocardiography (MCG) is a noninvasive imaging modality that has been extensively studied, over the past several decades, as a diagnostic imaging solution for various forms of cardiovascular disease. MCG measures the magnetic field that arises from the electrical activity of the heart's pacemaker activity, the very same activity which yield surface electric field potentials as measured by the electrocardiogram. Since MCG is a functional assessor of repolarization heterogeneity, it is hypothesized that MCG may be a useful frontline diagnostic to identify CMD in patients who would otherwise have normal coronary CT angiograms and/or stress tests. The proposed study intends to study the diagnostic accuracy of MCG in this population, with the goal of providing early and noninvasive insights for management of CMD. There will be a 12-month duration of the study where the investigators propose to collect MCG scans from approximately 150 patients who present to the Genetesis facility for a 15-minute CardioFlux scan appointment.
