Heart MRI and PET scans in people with suspected artery disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses specialized heart scans (MRI and combined PET/MRI) to better understand blood flow and heart structure in people with symptoms that could be caused by coronary artery disease. It may help researchers find improved ways to measure heart health and circulation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and can give written consent
- You have symptoms that fit possible coronary artery disease
- Your doctor has referred you for a stress heart scan using medicine that widens blood vessels (MRI and/or PET)
- You do NOT have high-grade heart electrical block
- You can safely have MRI with contrast dye (gadolinium)

This trial uses a special heart MRI to look for blockages in the arteries that can cause chest pain or shortness of breath. It is for people who have not been diagnosed with heart disease before and are already scheduled for a catheterization procedure.
This study uses a special MRI scan to look at heart muscle metabolism in people with heart failure caused by blocked arteries. It may help doctors better understand which heart tissue is still alive and could recover.
This study uses MRI (a scanning test) to develop new ways to measure heart function in both healthy volunteers and people with suspected or known heart disease. It may help researchers create better heart tests that could improve future diagnosis and monitoring.
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 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 tests new or improved heart imaging methods to understand whether people have heart-related blood vessel disease. It may help by comparing scan results to your health history and other testing to better spot heart problems earlier.
