Overview
This multicenter clinical trial is designed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of MCG scan in detecting significant CAD compared to the reference standard CAG.
Description
This is multicenter, prospective, observational trial to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of magnetocardiography(MCG) scan in detecting significant coronary artery disease(CAD) compared to the reference standard coronary arteriography(CAG). Chest pain patients scheduled for CAG will be offered to enroll in this clinical trial and provide informed consent to undergo with a rest/stress MCG scan prior to CAG. This MCG scan with a new 96 channel superconducting quantum interference device(SQUID) system is radiation-free, contactless and takes less than ten minutes to complete. Multiple studies have shown that the diagnostic accuracy of stress MCG scan is quite high in identifying patients with symptomatic CAD. Results will be interpreted and compared to the results of cardiac SPECT stress test, if available, and CAG. Participants will be followed up to 30 days via phone call or chart review. 30 day major adverse cardiac event(MACE) will be recorded and correlated with initial MCG scan results.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:

Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients unable to fit into MCG scan device
- Patients with implanted cardiac pacemakers/defibrillators
- Atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response
- Patients with other sustained or incessant arrhythmias
- Presence clinical suspicious of any acute coronary syndrome
