MRI study to predict sudden cardiac death risk
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 21 to 80 years old
- Your heart pumping strength (left ventricular ejection fraction, or LVEF) is 35% or lower
- Your doctor is considering an ICD for “primary prevention” (no prior history of sustained dangerous rhythm problems)
- You can give consent and your treating doctor approves your participation
- You are able to have an MRI (no metal in your body that makes MRI unsafe)
- You are not severely limited by symptoms (not NYHA Class IV heart failure)

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.
This study uses heart MRIs to learn more about people who have heart failure and significant blockages in their coronary arteries. If you are planning to have bypass surgery or a stent, the study may be a fit.
This study uses heart MRI to find people with early signs of heart muscle disease who still have normal-sized heart chambers. It aims to better predict who is at risk so they can get earlier care.
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 uses heart MRI scans to predict who might develop dangerous heart rhythms. It's for people with certain types of non-ischemic heart disease who have already had an MRI with contrast.
This trial uses a heart MRI to measure details in people with dilated cardiomyopathy and reduced pumping strength. It aims to use these MRI findings to better predict your future heart risk and guide care.
