Magnetocardiography (MCG) in Subjects Undergoing CT Angiography (CTA)

Withdrawn before enrolling

Conditions studied: Chest Pain

In brief

The investigators wish to study the magnetic field map using magnetocardiography (MCG) in subjects undergoing computed tomographic angiography (visualization of the heart arteries using CT scanning, CTA). The main purposes is to investigate if MCG is capable of detecting the presence of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) as detected by CT angiography (CTA) as well if the MCG can exclude the presence of CAD as defined by CTA. Secondarily the investigators will look at the correlation of MCG with non-obstructive CAD and the correlation of MCG with other tests (treadmill testing, stress echo or nuclear scan, coronary angiography) done as part of the work up for CAD.
