MRI test to better predict risk in dilated heart muscle
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial uses a heart MRI to measure details in people with dilated cardiomyopathy and reduced pumping strength. It aims to use these MRI findings to better predict your future heart risk and guide care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have dilated cardiomyopathy with weak pumping (left ventricular ejection fraction under 50%)
- Your MRI/heart measurements show the left heart chamber is enlarged (above age- and body-size normal)
- You do not have evidence of blocked heart arteries or prior heart attacks (ischemic heart disease)
- You do not have other major causes such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, significant valve disease, or infiltrative diseases like amyloidosis
- You must be able to have a heart MRI (can lie flat and can tolerate the scanner, and have no MRI-safety issues)

This study uses heart MRI scans to predict who might develop dangerous heart rhythms. It's for people with certain types of non-ischemic heart disease who have already had an MRI with contrast.
This study tests whether using a special heart MRI to guide the placement of an implantable defibrillator (ICD) is safe and effective in people with dilated, non-ischemic cardiomyopathy and reduced heart pumping. It may help improve how accurately the device is positioned and support better care planning.
This study uses heart MRI to find people with early signs of heart muscle disease who still have normal-sized heart chambers. It aims to better predict who is at risk so they can get earlier care.
This research uses cardiac MRI scans and patient data to better predict outcomes in people with dilated cardiomyopathy—a condition where the heart's main pumping chamber becomes enlarged and weakened. Participating could help doctors improve how they care for similar patients in the future.
This trial uses a special MRI scan to look at how the heart muscle uses fuel. It may help researchers understand heart conditions like dilated cardiomyopathy and coronary artery disease, especially in people with reduced heart pumping.
This trial uses advanced MRI scans to study early signs of heart failure in people whose heart pumps normally but who have risk factors like diabetes, high blood pressure, or obesity. It aims to improve detection and understanding of this condition.
