Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Magnetocardiography (MCG) is a novel, non-contact mapping technique to record cardiac magnetic field. We evaluated MCG criteria for myocardial ischemia in stress testing. METHODS: Multichannel MCG over frontal chest was performed in 44 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and 26 healthy controls during supine bicycle exercise test. Of the 44 patients 16 had anterior, 15 posterior, and 13 inferior ischemia documented by coronary angiography and exercise thallium scintigraphy. ST amplitude, ST slope, T-wave amplitude, and ST-T integral were measured. The optimal sites for detecting the ischemia-induced changes on MCG were sought. The orientation of the magnetic field was also determined. RESULTS: The optimal sites for the decrease of ST slope, ST amplitude, T-wave amplitude, and ST-T integral were over the abdomen. The reciprocal increase of these parameters was found over the left parasternal area. The optimal sites were approximately the same for all patient groups. In single-vessel disease patients without previous myocardial infarction (MI), ST slope increase and ST elevation performed the best (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve 92% and 90%, respectively). In post-MI patients with triple-vessel disease the decrease of T-wave amplitude and ST slope performed the best (area under curve 91%, for both). The magnetic field orientation at ST segment performed equally well as the other ST parameters. In stepwise logistic regression analysis, by use of the presence of CAD as the dependent parameter, ST slope increase and ST peak gradient orientation entered the model. CONCLUSIONS: Various ST segment and T-wave parameters detect ischemia in MCG. ST amplitude performs especially well in non-MI patients with less severe CAD. In advanced CAD late development of T-wave amplitude might be more sensitive to ischemia than ST amplitude.

  • The usefulness of MCG for better understanding arrhythmogenic mechanisms underlying high-risk J syndromes, identification of atrial arrhythmogenic vulnerability, left atrial dysfunction, atrial propagation pathways, and dominant frequencies in atrial fibrillation, as well as accurate pre-interventional 3D localization of arrhythmogenic substrates, has been widely reported.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
