Abstract
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) continues to be a significant global public health concern and ranks among the leading causes of mortality worldwide. However, the identification of myocardial ischemia in patients suspected of having coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a challenging issue. Functional or stress testing is widely recognized as the gold standard method for diagnosing myocardial ischemia, but it is hindered by low diagnostic accuracy and limitations such as radiation exposure. Magnetocardiography (MCG) is a non-contact, non-invasive method that records magnetic fields produced by the electrical activity of the heart. Unlike electrocardiography (EKG) and other functional or stress testing, MCG offers numerous advantages. It is highly sensitive and can detect early signs of myocardial ischemia that may be missed by other diagnostic tools. This review aims to provide an extensive overview of the available evidence that establishes the utility of MCG as a valuable diagnostic tool for identifying myocardial ischemia, accompanied by a discussion of potential future research directions in this domain.
