MRI study of heart scar using gadolinium in repaired heart defects
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial looks at heart MRI images to see whether a contrast dye (gadolinium) can highlight scar-like areas after congenital heart problems have been repaired. It may help doctors better understand healing and plan care, especially for future heart procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 13 years
- You have a history of congenital (from-birth) heart disease that has been repaired
- You are being referred for a cardiac MRI
- You are scheduled to receive gadolinium dye as part of routine care or for planning a procedure
- You do not have severe anxiety or claustrophobia related to MRI (self-reported)

This study looks at how blood flow and heart rhythm may affect exercise ability in people born with certain heart defects that have been repaired or treated. It uses a specialized heart MRI and ultrasound measurements to better understand these problems and their causes.
This study uses MRI scans to get detailed images of the heart in infants and children who have or might have congenital heart disease. It aims to help doctors see heart problems more clearly.
This early-phase study uses a special MRI scan to look at the heart in people with heart failure (and related heart changes). It aims to see whether these MRI results can better characterize heart disease and help doctors understand what’s going on.
This study tests a new way to use heart MRI to find scarring (fibrosis) in the heart muscle. It may help doctors detect heart damage more accurately.
This Phase 4 study checks whether a stronger MRI contrast dye (given in a higher “relaxivity” form) can better help doctors assess heart muscle scar tissue. You may be eligible if you already joined a prior similar MRI contrast study and can safely undergo another heart MRI.
This study uses a special heart MRI to look for scarring in the upper chambers of the heart (atria) that might cause hidden atrial fibrillation after a stroke with no known cause. It may help explain why the stroke happened and guide future treatment.
