Increased Intra‐QRS Fragmentation in Magnetocardiography as a Predictor of Arrhythmic Events and Mortality in Patients with Cardiac Dysfunction After Myocardial Infarction

“…This, together with MCG's sensitivity to signals of small amplitude, makes it an interesting technique for arrhythmia risk evaluation. With modern multichannel registering devices, MCG can be recorded in 5–10 minutes, rendering the method suitable for clinical studies 13,14 . However, up to the present time, prospective data on MCG variables in post‐MI patients have been lacking.…”

Heart rate adjustment of magnetic field map rotation in detection of myocardial ischemia in exercise magnetocardiography

“…The MCG signals were recorded over the chest with a 67 channel cardiomagnetometer covering a circular area with a diameter of 30 cm over the chest (8). The center of the sensor array was placed 15 cm below the jugular notch and 5 cm to the left of the midsternal line without skin contact (Fig.…”

Current Status and Future of Cardiac Mapping in Atrial Fibrillation

“…First normal MCG patterns based on such mapping systems was reported in 1978 by Saarinen et al [48]. In the 1990's, multi-channel devices have emerged, allowing simultaneous recording of the magnetic signals over large precordial areas by Van Leeuwen et al [49][50]. Today, MCG measurements can be performed with highly sensitive second-order SQUID gradiometers sensors in low-cost aluminium magnetically shielded rooms, resulting in high sensitivities, and with a modern multi-channel device, MCG registration can be performed in a few minutes, rendering the method suitable for clinical patient measurements.…”
