MRI without contrast to help diagnose pulmonary hypertension
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses an MRI scan that does not use contrast dye to better diagnose and sort out pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). It may help doctors classify your condition more accurately, especially around the time you’re scheduled for a right-heart catheterization.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have suspected or known pulmonary hypertension
- You have a planned right-heart catheterization soon
- You can understand the study and sign informed consent
- You can safely have an MRI (no hazardous metal or implanted devices)
- You can complete the MRI scan without severe fear of enclosed spaces
- You are not pregnant and are medically stable for the procedure

This study uses MRI scans and computer simulations to learn more about how the heart and blood flow work in people with certain heart or lung conditions. It may help researchers better understand heart problems and improve future care.
This study uses heart imaging tests to better understand pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and predict outcomes. It may help doctors tailor treatment for people with PAH.
This study tests a new MRI technique to measure blood flow in the heart without invasive procedures. It may help doctors better understand and manage congenital heart conditions.
This study uses MRI (a scanning test) to develop new ways to measure heart function in both healthy volunteers and people with suspected or known heart disease. It may help researchers create better heart tests that could improve future diagnosis and monitoring.
This trial uses a special MRI scan with xenon gas to take detailed images of how blood moves through your lungs. It aims to see if this imaging can help doctors better understand and manage pulmonary hypertension, which is high blood pressure in the lungs.
This study measures normal heart images using an MRI scan without contrast dye. It’s meant to improve and standardize how doctors collect heart images for future patients.
