Linking heart and brain findings in people with cardiovascular risks
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how heart conditions relate to brain findings on MRI, especially in people with sleep apnea and high blood pressure who are not on blood-thinning medicines. It may help doctors understand connections between the heart and brain to guide future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a heart or blood vessel condition such as coronary heart disease, heart weakness, irregular heartbeat, chest pain, or atrial fibrillation/flutter
- You do not take blood-thinning (anticoagulant) medicine
- You have diagnosed high blood pressure (hypertension)
- You have diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea (breathing pauses during sleep)
- You have never had a head/brain injury

This study looks at how sleep apnea affects your heart and blood vessels over time. It uses a sleep study and heart tests to see if certain measurements can predict heart health changes.
This study uses advanced health data to predict how heart and brain conditions may progress. It aims to help doctors provide better care for people with these diseases.
This study looks at how the heart muscle reacts in people with high blood pressure. You may have heart imaging (MRI) and blood pressure monitoring to understand patterns and potential ways to help.
This trial uses a specialized brain scan (MRI) to study people with severe obstructive sleep apnea who are not using CPAP. It also compares them with people who do not have sleep apnea to understand how brain function differs.
This trial helps develop and fine-tune MRI scans that look at the heart and blood vessels. It may help people with heart-related symptoms or conditions by improving how MRI images are created and interpreted.
This study looks at ways to predict harmful brain and blood-vessel side effects after heart surgery. It may help doctors identify higher-risk patients sooner so they can monitor them more closely.
