Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients who have had a confirmed myocardial infarction within 12 weeks of the initial event under the care of South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with confirmed myocardial infarction within 12 weeks of the initial event
  • Patients admitted to the Coronary Care Unit (CCU) at Warwick Hospital on the point of discharge or patients already discharged from the CCU attending the cardiac rehabilitation classes
  • 18+ year old male or female
  • Patient is willing and able to give written informed consent

Who cannot join

  • Atrial fibrillation
  • Thoracic metal implants (cardiac stents allowed)
  • Pacemaker or internal defibrillator
  • Pregnancy (if after 20-week period)* or lactation
  • Patient unable to lie down (i.e. supine position up to a maximum 25 degree tilt) or stay still on the examination bed
  • Patient unable to understand the informed consent process and/or has a poor understanding of English (e.g. English-speaking relative/translator not available)
  • There should not be any effect on pregnancy due to the non-invasive nature of the device. Pregnancy after the 20-week period excluded from the study due to the size and position of the foetus and unknown possibility of picking up the foetal heartbeat, rendering the scan non-usable for study requirements

About this study

Official title: A Prospective Single-centre Pilot Study to Assess a Magnetocardiograph Device in Patients Following Myocardial Infarction.

The study is being performed to evaluate a new portable medical device, the Creavo Vitalscan Magnetocardiograph (Vitalscan) on patients who have had a confirmed myocardial infarction (heart attack) within the previous 12 weeks.

Read the detailed description

Magnetocardiography (MCG) is a non-contact, passive, imaging technique that detects the magnetic fields generated by the electrical activity of the heart. The MCG technology has been evaluated in several clinical studies, demonstrating its potential usefulness in the detection of patients with stable angina and acute coronary syndrome (ACS), including non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).

Previous studies have been completed using earlier versions of the Vitalscan device. Results showed that the device could differentiate between patients with confirmed ischaemic heart disease (IHD) and NSTEMI, those with non-IHD experiencing chest pain and healthy (non-ischaemic) control subjects.

The aim of this pilot study is to assess the difference between abnormal MCG images from patients with a confirmed and recent myocardial infarction (MI)and normal images from previously obtained healthy volunteer controls scanned with the current device, so that comparisons can be made to the data acquired from the previous studies.

What participants receive

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

  • VitalscanDevice

    Vitalscan is a magnetocardiograph device

What is being measured

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

  1. MCG parameter extraction

    To extract parameters from MCG scans to identify key characteristics (markers) for myocardial infarction

    Measured: From baseline scan

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. MCG parameter analysis

    To use the markers identified to differentiate between abnormal (post MI) images and normal (healthy volunteer) images using evaluation performance measures

    Measured: From baseline scan

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myocardial Infarction, run by Creavo Medical Technologies Ltd at 1 site in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Dec 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

MCG parameter extraction (time frame: From baseline scan). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 20 Dec 2018.
