Study registry of heart imaging for suspected blocked heart flow
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study collects results from two types of heart imaging—cardiac PET and CardioFlux magnetocardiography—in people with suspected reduced blood flow to the heart. It may help researchers better understand which imaging findings match coronary ischemia and how the tests compare.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You agree to sign informed consent to join the study
- You are age 40 or older when you enroll
- A clinician thinks you may have reduced blood flow to the heart and ordered a cardiac PET scan
- You finished a cardiac PET scan within the last 2 weeks before enrolling
- You can fit into the CardioFlux device and can lie flat (on your back) for 5 minutes
- You do not have certain metal/ferromagnetic implants that interfere with the scan (and you do not have ongoing atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter)

This study tests a special heart scan that measures blood flow to the heart muscle. It may help doctors decide if your heart blockages need treatment or if medication is enough.
This study tests a new way to measure blood flow in the heart using an MRI scan. It may help doctors better diagnose chest pain and decide on treatment.
This study compares two heart imaging tests: magnetocardiography (a magnetic scan) and emission computed tomography (ECT), to see if the magnetic scan can help detect reduced blood flow to the heart. If you're already scheduled for an ECT scan, this study may help show whether the newer magnetic test works as well.
This trial uses a special MRI technique with carbon dioxide to check how well blood flows to your heart muscle. It might help doctors better understand blockages in the heart arteries.
This study uses cardiac MRI to look at the heart in people with weakened heart muscle and blocked heart arteries. It may help doctors improve treatments like bypass surgery or stents.
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.
