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 study looks at how a pacemaker-like device (cardiac resynchronization therapy) affects heart function in people with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction. It may help you understand if this treatment is right for you and could improve your heart health.
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 tests a new heart scan method to help doctors place pacemakers more accurately for people with heart failure. It aims to improve the effectiveness of the pacemaker treatment and may lead to better outcomes for 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.
This study uses an MRI scan of the heart to better identify which people with heart failure need a defibrillator along with a special pacemaker (cardiac resynchronization therapy). The scan may help doctors decide if the device could improve your heart's pumping and reduce risks.
This trial tests whether a special noninvasive heart “mapping” test done on the body can help improve outcomes for people who need a CRT device. It studies whether mapping before implantation can better guide or predict how well the CRT will work.
