Recommended application field: MCG can be used for non-invasive liagnosis of cardiac events related to: - coronary artery disease (CAD); - safety all medical drugs with respect to the drugs potential to cause heart arrhythmia; - early detection of graft rejection alter cardiac transplantation; - pathophysiological role and therapeutic potential of stem cells.

Advantages over analogues: MCG is modern imaging and quantitative analysis technique for detection abnormal difference in electrophysiological cardiac phenomena. MCG is non-invasive and invasive and informative methods which could be effectively used a variety spectrum of clinical setting. It is a useful tool for screening diagnostics and may be used in unshielded environment.

The development stage readiness: Tested experimental exploitation order

Description of the development:
()
Magneto-Cardio-Graphy (MCG) as a contact-free measurement method is an excellent tool to perform studies for early recognition, precise diagnostics and monitoring of heart diseases. The electrophysiological behavior of the heart may be altered in disease and drug intervention, presumably by changes in individual ion currents or disease-induced increased ion channel density. During myocardial activation and recovery there is a flow of ions, which cretes changes of electrical and magnetic field around the heart. The hearts magnetic field is exquisitely sensitive to anisotropy ratios in the cardiac tissue. Therefore, magnetic imaging of cardiac action currents is an ideally suited technique for testing the heterogeneity, thus elucidation the effects of anisotropy in spread of action currents.
