Key result
The 36-lead magnetocardiogram (MCG) demonstrated greater sensitivity to ischemia in the ST-segment compared to the 36-lead ECG (50% vs 40% relative difference), providing a potential alternative for ischemia diagnosis.

Hypothesis-generating for 36-lead MCG in ischemia; prospective human validation required before clinical consideration.
Does 36-lead MCG or 36-lead ECG provide greater sensitivity than 12-lead ECG in detecting myocardial ischemia in a computational model?
Absolute Event Rate: 50% vs 40%
Computational modeling suggests that 36-lead MCG and 36-lead ECG offer greater sensitivity to myocardial ischemia than standard 12-lead ECG, with MCG being particularly sensitive to ST-segment changes and regional localization.
Alday et al. (2016) studied Myocardial Ischemia. 36-lead magnetocardiogram (MCG) vs. 12-lead and 36-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) was evaluated on Relative difference in ST-segment amplitude between control and ischemic conditions. The 36-lead magnetocardiogram (MCG) demonstrated greater sensitivity to ischemia in the ST-segment compared to the 36-lead ECG (50% vs 40% relative difference), providing a potential alternative for ischemia diagnosis.
