Heart transplant patients get a heart MRI check
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study renews research using heart MRI scans to learn more about heart transplant patients and compare them with healthy control scans. It may help researchers understand heart function after transplant and improve future imaging care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be able to understand the study and sign consent (or be able to complete the required screening).
- If you’re an adult, you should have had a heart transplant and a baseline heart MRI before April 2017.
- If you’re a child, you must be receiving a baseline heart MRI at Lurie (and have had a heart transplant if in the transplant group).
- Your kidneys must work well enough; people with very low kidney function may need special imaging or may be excluded.
- You must be able to safely have an MRI (no certain metal implants or other MRI-safety problems).

This study uses a special heart MRI to check for a heart condition called cirrhotic cardiomyopathy in people waiting for a liver transplant. The results may help doctors better understand and treat heart problems in patients with cirrhosis.
This study evaluates a new way to analyze heart function using a standard cardiac MRI scanner. If you have heart disease and need a heart MRI anyway, this trial tests whether this new analysis method works well across different hospitals and MRI machines.
This study tests whether a heart MRI can detect early signs of organ rejection after a heart transplant. If successful, it could reduce the need for frequent biopsies.
This trial tests if a special MRI can detect early signs of heart rejection in children and young adults who have had a heart transplant. If successful, it might reduce the need for invasive biopsies.
This study uses an MRI while exercising to check heart and lung fitness in children with heart disease. It helps doctors learn more about how to care for kids who have had a heart transplant or were born with heart problems.
This study checks whether a new, higher-detail heart MRI technique can produce reliable heart images. You might help researchers improve how doctors see and assess the heart during routine MRI care.
