Heart and metabolic scan study of weight and rehabilitation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses detailed heart scans and information about metabolism (how your body uses energy) to understand how metabolic treatments and heart rehabilitation may affect your health. You may qualify either as someone undergoing bariatric (weight-loss) care or as part of a heart rehabilitation group—or as a healthy comparison group.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be older than 18 years
- Be able to read and sign the written consent form
- Join the study in one of these groups: bariatric surgery group, cardiac rehab group, or healthy control group
- If in the bariatric group: obesity is typically BMI 30 or higher (or BMI under 30 for the non-obese control within that group)
- If in the cardiac rehab group: you have symptoms from cardiovascular disease (while healthy controls have no signs of cardiovascular disease)
- Be able to have an MRI/heart scan safely (no standard MRI contraindications)

This study is testing a new way to take pictures of the heart using MRI. It is looking for healthy volunteers to help make sure the technology works correctly.
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.
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 tests a new MRI method that uses a safe, natural substance (pyruvate) to take detailed pictures of the heart and metabolism. It may help doctors better understand heart disease, diabetes, and related conditions.
This study uses two imaging scans to see if parts of your heart muscle are still alive but not working well. This could help doctors decide if you might benefit from heart bypass surgery.
This study uses an MRI scan to better measure muscle loss (sarcopenia) and heart function. It may help researchers find clearer ways to assess these conditions and track changes over time.
