MRI imaging to assess sudden heart risk factors
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests heart imaging (using MRI) to better identify factors linked to sudden cardiac death risk. You may be eligible if you have reduced heart pumping ability and are planning a specific heart device to prevent dangerous heart rhythms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Have a heart pumping measurement (ejection fraction) of 35% or less
- Plan to get an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) for prevention before a life-threatening event
- Have no prior history of sudden death (the study is for “primary prevention”)
- Be able to safely have an MRI scan
- Do not have implanted or metal devices that block MRI (for example, certain pacemakers or metal implants)
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether using an MRI to help place a defibrillator (a device that corrects dangerous heart rhythms) works better than the usual method. It may help people with weak heart pumping after a heart attack.
This trial uses heart MRI images and measurements to look for warning signs that could predict sudden cardiac death. It focuses on people with significantly reduced heart pumping function who are being considered for an ICD to prevent sudden death.
This trial helps develop and fine-tune MRI scans that look at the heart and blood vessels. It may help people with heart-related symptoms or conditions by improving how MRI images are created and interpreted.
This study uses a special heart MRI to look at scar tissue after a heart attack and see if it can help predict who might need a device to prevent sudden cardiac arrest. It is for people who had a heart attack at least a month ago and had a cardiac MRI at Anzhen Hospital.
This study tests a new MRI technique that may be faster and more reliable for measuring how well your heart pumps. If you are already scheduled for a heart MRI, this study could help improve future heart imaging.
This study uses advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to better understand and diagnose heart disease. If you have suspected or confirmed heart problems, this trial may help doctors get clearer pictures of your heart muscle and tissue to figure out what's causing your symptoms.
