About this study

Genetesis is a cardiac diagnostics company which presents a novel magnetocardiogram (MCG) analysis system called CardioFlux. This investigation presents a new, noninvasive diagnostic option to use MCG for rapid diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome. Data from the Cardioflux system will be compared with stress testing methods as well as the results of cardiac catheterization to identify patients with myocardial ischemia.

This is a prospective observational single-blinded convenience pilot study of 100 patients placed in the Clinical Decision Unit (CDU) for evaluation of chest pain at St. John Hospital and Medical Center (Detroit, MI).

Patients enrolled in the study will also have a 30 and 180 day follow up for analysis of adverse cardiac events.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • MagnetocardiographyDiagnostic test

    Also called Cardioflux Scan

    Study subjects will be placed within a magnetic shielding apparatus. Noninvasive sensors placed over the subject's torso will acquire magnetic field fluctuations generated by cardiac activity, which will then be analyzed for evidence of myocardial ischemia.

Acute Chest painAll patients admitted to the Clinical Decision Unit presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) with chest pain with risk factors suggesting a possible cardiac etiology.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Magnetocardiography

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Identification of Active Myocardial Ischemia

    Comparison of Magnetocardiography (MCG) and imaging of myocardial magnetic field/current will be performed directly with standard stress testing protocols performed on patients admitted to a cardiac observation unit.

    Measured: 2 days

  2. Identification of Active Myocardial Ischemia

    Comparison of Magnetocardiography (MCG) and imaging of magnetic field/current will be directly compared to cardiac catheterization data in those patients who undergo this procedure.

    Measured: 1 week

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Medium term Adverse Cardiac Events

    In patients discharged from the cardiac observation unit with a negative stress test result, how does MCG results correlate with major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at 30 days and 6 months following discharge? MACE will be defined as acute myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization, and all-cause death.

    Measured: 6 months

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Identification of Active Myocardial Ischemia (time frame: 2 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03255772, which also lists 9 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Jan 2022.
