Can MCG detect a previous MI and determine its severity?
Yes — Patients who have suffered heart attacks will have heart muscle damage, which is detected as abnormalities by the MCG analysis. Patients who suffer heart attacks following their first MCG testing will show greater anomalies as the result of the addional damaged cells. In addition to detecting the damage, the MCG analysis quantifies the damage based on the severity of the abnormalities observed, giving a measure of the severty of the heart attack based on the degree of deviation detected. The MCG system can be used during follow-up visits to monitor patient improvement after a heart attack and determine if a treatment is effective for a given patient.
