Magnetocardiography in Long QT Syndrome: A Prospective Study of Its Clinical and Prognostic Utility
Mayo Clinic
Summary
The primary objective of this observational study is to evaluate whether magnetocardiography (MCG) findings more accurately predict clinical outcomes in patients with acquired Long QT syndrome compared to ECG. The secondary objective is to assess differences in QT interval length between MCG and ECG. The primary safety objective is to characterize the safety profile of the CardiAQ MCG device.
