Exercise heart MRI in heart failure with preserved pumping strength
This study uses a special exercise MRI to see how the heart works during activity in people with a type of heart failure where the heart's pumping strength is normal. It also includes people with shortness of breath from other causes and healthy volunteers to compare results.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–80 - NCT06016608Recruiting
Polyvascular disease imaging study
This study uses a special camera to take detailed pictures of artery blockages in people with heart disease, stroke, or mini-stroke. It may help doctors better understand how to treat multiple blocked arteries.
Harbin, HeilongjiangAges 18 years+ - NCT04662970Recruiting
Imaging after a heart device to optimize pacing settings
This study uses a heart MRI (a special scan) to better map the heart’s electrical activity, with the goal of fine-tuning settings on your implanted pacing device. It’s meant to improve how well the device coordinates your heartbeat.
Innsbruck, TyrolAges 18 years+ - NCT06409585Recruiting
Heart muscle disease imaging study for scarring
This study uses advanced imaging (PET/MR or PET/CT) to look at scarring (fibrosis) in the heart muscle. It is for people with various heart muscle diseases, including heart failure with preserved pumping, thickened heart muscle, high blood pressure-related heart damage, heart inflammation, and others.
Edinburgh, ScotlandAges 30–90 - NCT06993454Recruiting
Exercise and blood sugar in type 2 diabetes with fatty liver
This study looks at how a single session of exercise affects the body's natural sugar production in people with type 2 diabetes and fatty liver. It may help us find better ways to control blood sugar and treat fatty liver.
Orlando, FloridaAges 25–55 - NCT06029114Enrolling by invitation
Brain scan study for memory problems
This study uses a special MRI to look at brain stiffness in people with normal memory, mild memory problems, or Alzheimer's disease. The goal is to see if this scan can help tell the difference between these groups.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–100 - NCT06025500Recruiting
Muscle function before and after lung valve treatment
This study looks at how well your leg muscles work before and after getting special valves placed in your lungs. It uses an exercise bike test and an MRI scan to measure muscle changes, and the results may help people with COPD breathe better.
GroningenAges Any age - NCT05865652Recruiting
7T brain scan study for teens at risk of psychosis
This trial tests how the brain’s cell membranes and energy use look in teens who are at high risk of developing psychosis. It compares them with healthy teens to better understand early brain changes that might help future care.
PoitiersAges 15–25 - NCT07796061RecruitingPhase 1
Ultrasound plus immune cells for brain tumors
This trial tests a new way to treat a type of brain tumor called diffuse midline glioma. It uses focused ultrasound to open a tiny gap in the blood-brain barrier, which may help special immune cells (T-cells) reach and attack the tumor. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and helpful.
