Official Title: Diagnostic Accuracy of Magnetocardiography in Inflammatory Cardiomyopathies: A Comparison With Noninvasive Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) and Invasive Endomyocardial Biopsy
Brief Summary:
Accurate and rapid screening is an unmet medical need to address the increasing demand for advanced diagnostic workup in patients with suspected cardiomyopathy.Due to an overwhelmed health care system, advanced imaging is not always immediately available leading to underdiagnosis and progression of cardiomyopathies to advanced stages and sudden death.The investigator's recently demonstrated in a retrospective study that magnetocardiography (MCG) could be a suitable tool to detect inflammatory and other types…
