Several risk scoring tools for CAD have been developed to improve early detection, reduce the risk of acute cardiac events, and ensure adequate monitoring and follow-up of high-risk individuals. One that seized attention, especially with the groundbreaking advancements in disease's genetic buildup, was the polygenic risk score (PRS) for CAD. It was developed for potentially improving risk prediction at an early age, with individualized patient care. Our review aims to review the latest advances in this field of polygenic risk prediction, highlighting background information about PRS, current evidence supporting the utility of PRS for CAD, challenges associated with its implementation, and its complementary role with the coronary artery calcium score (CAC). Our review demonstrates that PRS could be a strong predictive indicator of CAD, especially when combined with other clinical factors. However, concerns remain regarding its applicability to genetically diverse populations, the ethical and psychological challenges, and practical feasibility. Lastly, PRS can augment and predict CAC in terms of risk discrimination and reclassification. In conclusion, PRS is a valuable tool that is upscaling with wider adoption. This requires a proper handling of its associated challenges to better shape the future of individualized care.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72158,"journal":{"name":"American heart journal plus : cardiology research and practice","volume":"62 ","pages":"Article 100712"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145898131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Standard surveillance is performed to screen for these issues and predominantly consists of cardiac catheterization with hemodynamics, endomyocardial biopsy and invasive coronary angiography, with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and coronary flow reserve. The use of IVUS increases the sensitivity for CAV detection. Overall, these procedures have associated morbidities, need anesthesia and have associated patient discomfort and substantial cost. Magnetocardiography (MCG), a noninvasive modality that measures cardiac magnetic fields, has emerged as a potential tool for early detection of complications in post-transplant patients. Unlike electrocardiography, MCG provides spatially resolved data on depolarization and repolarization, independent of body habitus or tissue conductivity. Early studies suggest that MCG can identify electrophysiologic abnormalities associated with both acute rejection and CAV, in some cases preceding histologic or angiographic confirmation. Rejection is reflected by alterations in magnetic dipole strength and repolarization heterogeneity, while CAV correlates with repolarization dispersion indices such as QTc heterogeneity and Magnetic Dispersion Velocity. Despite promising pilot data, MCG remains underutilized, largely due to small study sizes, lack of standardized interpretation, and limited availability of equipment. This review synthesizes the existing evidence, highlights potential advantages and limitations, and outlines future directions for integrating MCG into standard post-transplant surveillance protocols.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72158,"journal":{"name":"American heart journal plus : cardiology research and practice","volume":"62 ","pages":"Article 100704"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145980257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
