Research on Diagnosis and Prognosis of Myocardial Ischemia Level Using Magnetocardiography

Research on Diagnosis and Prognosis of Myocardial Ischemia Level in Xiangya Hospital Using Magnetocardiography -- Miracle MCG

Magnetocardiography (MCG) is a non-invasive and accurate method of detecting myocardial ischemia. However, the previous MCG is limited in clinical practice due to its high working conditions and limited sensitivity. The next-generation MCG based on optical pumped magnetometer (OPM) has the advantages of high sensitivity, high reliability, high usability and low cost, which makes it suitable for most medical scenarios. Thus, this prospective single-center study aimed to use OPM MCG to explore its diagnostic efficacy and predictive value for myocardial ischemia. Participants who will receive coronary angiography examinations will be enrolled in this study. Participants enrolled in the study will also have a 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48-month follow-up for analysis of adverse cardiac events.
