New MRI methods for heart failure with preserved pumping function
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests advanced MRI techniques to better understand heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), a condition where the heart pumps normally but still doesn't work well. It may help improve diagnosis and treatment for patients with this type of heart failure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You need to be able to give your own consent to join the study.
- If you have HFpEF, you must have a formal diagnosis and be safe to have an MRI.
- You cannot have metal implants, certain heart valves, or other MRI-unsafe devices.
- You cannot be pregnant, have claustrophobia that can't be managed, or have severe kidney disease (GFR less than 30).
- If you need a stress agent during MRI, you must not be allergic to adenosine or regadenoson, and avoid caffeine for 12 hours before.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses an advanced heart scan (CMR heart MRI) to better recognize a type of heart failure where the pumping strength is preserved. If you fit the criteria, the MRI and related testing may help your doctors and researchers understand your condition more accurately.
This trial uses a special heart MRI to create pressure-volume loops in people with heart failure who have a normal pumping strength (ejection fraction of 50% or higher). It aims to better understand heart function and could help guide future treatments. You may qualify if you have heart failure symptoms and specific heart structure or function changes.
This trial studies people who have heart-related symptoms but do not have clear blocked heart arteries, using special heart imaging. It may help researchers better understand early forms of heart weakness (with preserved pumping function) and improve how these conditions are diagnosed.
This study uses a special MRI scan with a natural contrast agent (manganese) to look at how well the heart muscle works in people with heart failure who still have normal pumping strength. The goal is to learn more about why this type of heart failure happens.
This study looks at people who have heart failure symptoms but whose heart pumping strength is not reduced. Researchers aim to better understand this type of heart failure and compare it with people who have no history of heart disease or heart failure.
This study looks at fat around the heart in people with heart failure where the heart still pumps normally. It uses MRI scans to understand this fat better, and may help find new treatments.
