MRI heart scan to find narrowed arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a special MRI scan of the heart (called coronary MRA) to look for narrowed blood vessels. It's being tested to see if it can be done without needing contrast dye or radiation, and results will be compared with a standard CT scan you're already scheduled for.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You need to be in a regular heart rhythm (not an irregular one).
- You should have a body mass index (BMI) below 35.
- You should be having a CT scan of your heart (CCTA) within 28 days of joining.
- You should be able to take a nitroglycerin tablet under the tongue (for the scan).
- You must not have had prior heart bypass surgery or stents.

This study uses a special MRI approach to measure details of your heart muscle in people with certain heart problems. It may help researchers better understand how different conditions affect the heart and how those changes can be measured.
This study tests a new way to diagnose small blood vessel disease in the heart using an MRI scan during a stress test. It is for people who are already participating in a larger heart imaging study and are scheduled for a catheter procedure.
This study uses a special heart MRI to check for blockages in the arteries that supply your heart. It may help find problems without needing more invasive tests, and could guide your doctor in choosing the best treatment.
This study uses an MRI scan to better “see and measure” early changes in the heart’s artery lining. It may help researchers understand coronary artery disease earlier, even before it causes symptoms.
This trial compares using a cardiac MRI before the standard catheterization (angiogram) in people with a suspected heart attack that doesn't show the typical ECG changes. It aims to see if the MRI can help guide decisions and avoid unnecessary procedures.
This study looks at heart problems using a special MRI scan called a cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) scan. It may help doctors learn more about how to assess and understand cardiovascular disease using detailed heart images.
