About this study

Official title: Noninvasive Magnetocardiography Using the CardioFlux (TM) System in the Evaluation of Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients Going for Cardiac Catheterization

This is a multicenter, prospective trial to measure the test performance characteristics of the Magnetocardiography (MCG) CardioFlux cardiac diagnostic system in detecting clinically significant coronary artery obstruction in patients with symptoms of suspected acute coronary syndrome or who present with a failed stress test with the intention of treat with cardiac catheterization.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, prospective clinical trial studying the utility and accuracy of magnetocardiography (MCG) in identifying critical coronary artery obstruction responsible for myocardial ischemia. The study will enroll up to 1500 patients at high risk for coronary artery disease (CAD) who have been referred for cardiac catheterization. These patients will be recruited from an inpatient service post admission for chest pain or anginal equivalent or from a cohort of symptomatic patients who have failed outpatient stress testing. If they meet other stated inclusion criteria, they will have a 2 minute MCG scan prior to their cardiac catheterization. For comparative purposes, the first 300 patients will have an electrocardiogram (ECG) performed within 60 minutes of this initial scan.

After an enrolled study subject has had their catheterization procedure, the results of the catheterization will be reviewed by one of the study's primary investigators. If the subject has had a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), a second MCG scan will be performed prior to their discharge. The MCG scans will be interpreted by 3 physicians trained to read these images and blinded to all clinical information regarding study subjects.

The initial MCG scan will be evaluated for its sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and overall accuracy in detecting myocardial ischemia and critical coronary stenosis based on angiographic imaging, fractional flow reserve (FFR), or instant wave-free ratio (iFR) measurements, as applicable. The same statistical analysis will be performed for the ECGs performed on each of the applicable study subjects. When performed, the second MCG will be evaluated for any abnormalities after revascularization. These results will be used to determine the value of post-PCI MCG to predict 30 day and 180 day major adverse cardiac events (MACE)-specifically myocardial infarction or stroke, need for revascularization, or cardiac related death.

What participants receive

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

  • CardioFlux MagnetocardiographDiagnostic test

    CardioFlux is a noninvasive diagnostic modality which can measure and image the heart's intrinsic magnetic field created by ion transit across cardiac cell membranes.

Study groups in NCT04044391
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Intention to Treat: Cardiac CatheterizationAll patients meeting inclusion criteria and scheduled to undergo cardiac catheterization will undergo a CardioFlux magnetocardiogram (MCG) to determine presence of patterns which indicate myocardial ischemia.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: CardioFlux Magnetocardiograph
Post Percutaneous Coronary InterventionAll patients found to have significant coronary artery obstruction seen via angiography +/- fractional flow reserve (FFR) or instant wave-free ratio (iFR) and who receive a catheter based intervention will have a post-procedure CardioFlux MCG scan. Follow up over the next 30 and 180 days will be performed to determine if a persistent pattern suggesting residual ischemia will correlate with an increased incidence of major cardiac adverse events (MACE).
Receives: Diagnostic Test: CardioFlux Magnetocardiograph

What is being measured

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

  1. Accuracy of MCG to detect myocardial ischemia as determined by cardiac catheterization

    Assess accuracy of CardioFlux MCG (MCG-CF) and magnetic field map characteristics with findings of significant coronary artery stenosis ≥70% via angiography and/or via FFR of <0.8 or via instant wave-free ratio (iFR) .

    Measured: 72 hours

  2. Accuracy of MCG vs. ECG

    Compare CardioFlux MCG accuracy to ECG accuracy in identifying cardiac ischemia using coronary angiography with or without FFR/iFR as gold standard.

    Measured: 72 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Incident of post-PCI MACE

    Determine if residual abnormalities on post PCI MCG-CF maps can predict 30 day and 180 day MACE.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Inter-reader reliability percentage

    Measurement of consistency of interpretation among 3 physician readers of CardioFlux MCG scans.

    Measured: 6 months
