MRI and computer-heart simulations for heart disease
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (or the participant) must have heart disease—either congenital (from birth) or acquired (developed later)
- If you are a healthy volunteer, you must be willing to have an MRI scan
- You must be able to have an IV contrast dye (if you’re a patient; this is not required for healthy volunteers)
- Your heart rhythm must be steady enough for the MRI timing process (no certain arrhythmias that interfere)
- You must be able to safely be near a strong magnet during the MRI (for example, no implanted metal devices or clips that are unsafe, and no aneurysm clip, if applicable)
- You must be able to lie still and follow MRI instructions; for healthy volunteers, staying still is required

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 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.
This study uses MRI scans to look at heart problems in babies and children. It may help doctors understand the heart's structure better without using X-rays.
This study is testing a new way to take pictures of the heart using MRI. It is looking for healthy volunteers to help make sure the technology works correctly.
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 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.
