Study objectives: To evaluate the capability and accuracy of magnetocardiography (MCG) to identify patients with ischemic chest pain from those with non-ischemic pain and to verify normalcy in the MCG in healthy subjects. Design: We studied 133 patients (mean age 59 ± 14 years, 69 % male) with chronic or acute chest pain syndrome and 63 healthy subjects (mean age 41.7 ± 12.2 years, 51 % male) using unshielded cryogenically cooled MCG systems (Cardiomag Imaging Inc., 9 and 36 channels) in a general clinical setting. Scan time was 90 s to 6 min. Interventions: The MCG data were processed with the same automated analysis software and results were immediately available. All patients were chest pain free at the time of scanning. Results: A diagnosis of ischemic chest pain was established in 41 % after non-invasive and invasive testing. Rest MCG was normal in all healthy subjects. An abnormal rest MCG was strongly associated with ischemic chest pain, p |
