In the prospective emergency department observation unit clinical study, 101 low-intermediate risk chest pain patients were administered a 90-second noninvasive heart scan using the CardioFlux MCG. Cardioflux identified different magnetic field maps for patients with and without myocardial ischemia diagnosed via standard of care evaluation. CardioFlux performed competitively relative to stress testing and coronary angiography, with a demonstrated specificity of 78.3% and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 92.3%. These results are the beginning of a robust set of data demonstrating that CardioFlux shows promise as a "feasible and comparable testing option" relative to standard of care stress testing. The data were previously presented at the American College of Emergency Physicians Scientific Assembly in October 2018.
Dr. Pena notes that further research on CardioFlux is underway. "Now they're looking at the high-risk population of patients that get [catheterized] so that we can see how this compares to catheterization," says Pena.

"While previous studies of magnetocardiography have yielded promise in the detection of coronary artery disease, this is the first time a scalable iteration of this technology has been made available to emergency medicine in their difficult task of diagnosing ACS," Dr. Alisa Niksch, Genetesis Chief Medical Officer, stated. "This data has given Genetesis the momentum to expand research into other populations at risk for ischemic heart disease."
