Key result
Magnetocardiography detects inflammatory cardiomyopathy with ~95% specificity and identifies therapy response within 1 week.
Why the study?

“To the extent of my awareness, this constitutes the most extensive MCG trial conducted in the past 60 years, dating back to the inception of MCG research. As someone trained in emergency medicine, I find it particularly thrilling to witness MCG being investigated in a practical, real-world context, as exemplified by the MAGNETO study.”
Magnetocardiography is a promising, non-invasive tool for screening inflammatory cardiomyopathy and monitoring early response to immunosuppressive therapy.

Bettina Heidecker (2023) conducted a review in Inflammatory cardiomyopathy. Magnetocardiography vs. Echocardiography was evaluated on Diagnostic specificity and sensitivity. Magnetocardiography demonstrated a high diagnostic specificity of 95% and a sensitivity of 59% for detecting inflammatory cardiomyopathy, and detected therapy response as early as 1 week.
