MCG is a non-invasive technique allowing body surface recording of the magnetic fields generated by the electrical activity of the heart during the cardiocycle.
I have few special question. If you have experience please share your opinion. Thanks.
If anybody has data comparison QT Interval Estimation by ECG and Magnetocardiography? What sensitivity and specificity, and in general, reproducibility...
There were differences in automatic ventricular dispersion measurements between multichannel MCGs and ECGs, with MCG dispersion significantly greater than ECG. These differences were also apparent after normalizing the number of MCG channels and ECG leads. Although both MCG and ECG dispersion measurements were able to distinguish between normal subjects and cardiac patients, significantly greater differences were obtained with MCG. These results suggest that automatic dispersion measurements from multichannel MCGs contain different information from conventional ECG leads and indicate that magnetocardiography has the potential to provide further insights into the electromagnetic activity of the heart than standard electrocardiography, particularly for abnormalities involving ventricular repolarization.
Greetings! We are actively doing research in the field of Magnetocardiography. Please contact us if you have any specific queries in reference to the cardiac physiology in MCG.
