Imaging study to guide heart failure device treatment
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses advanced heart imaging to better understand heart function in people who may benefit from a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device. It aims to find ways to improve how doctors choose treatment and tailor care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have long-term (chronic) heart failure with weaker pumping
- Your heart pumping strength (LVEF) is 35% or lower
- A heart specialist has recommended CRT for you based on standard guidelines
- You can safely complete the imaging (no certain metal/implant issues and you’re able to consent)
- Your kidney function is not severely reduced, and you have no recent sudden kidney injury
- You’re not pregnant, and you don’t have a strong allergy to the contrast dye used in imaging

This trial is testing a new way to use MRI scans to help people with heart failure who need a special pacemaker called a CRT device. It may help doctors better understand how to treat your heart condition.
This study tests a new heart scan method to help doctors improve pacemaker treatment for people with heart failure. If you already qualify for a special pacemaker called CRT, this scan may make the treatment work better for you.
This trial tests a heart device (CRT) that coordinates your heart's contractions, combined with a new electrical mapping technique to place leads more precisely. It's designed for people with weak heart function and abnormal electrical patterns who haven't improved enough with medications alone.
This trial compares two ways of placing a heart rhythm device: guiding the procedure with a cardiac MRI versus using the usual approach. It aims to see which method improves heart function and outcomes for people with a certain type of heart failure due to blocked heart arteries.
This study looks at people who already had a heart MRI before getting a pacemaker, defibrillator, or other heart device. It aims to learn how MRI results might predict long-term outcomes for these patients.
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.
