Advances in the Study of Magnetocardiography in Cardiovascular Diseases

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are one of the leading reasons for death and disability in patients worldwide. Their accurate diagnosis and assessment remain a considerable challenge in clinical settings. Magnetocardiography is a non-invasive, non-radioactive, and non-contact functional test. This examination has made significant progress in diagnosing and treating CVDs recently. However, most healthcare professionals are not aware of this new examination tool. In this review, we will summarize the development history and working principle of magnetocardiography, highlight its use in diagnosing, evaluating, and monitoring CVD treatment effects, and discuss the prospects for its application in clinical settings.
