New MRI test for small heart vessel disease
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are already part of a companion study that looks at two types of heart scans (CMR and CT-FFR).
- You have been referred for a heart catheterization to check on chest pain.
- You are 18 years or older and can understand written English.
- You are able to perform light exercise inside an MRI scanner.
- You do not have severe claustrophobia, asthma, or kidney problems that would prevent a safe MRI.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two heart-imaging tests—cardiac MRI (CMR) and CT—to see which better helps evaluate coronary artery disease in people with chest pain. You may be asked to have one of these scans as part of your heart work-up.
This trial tests a special wireless pressure catheter to see how well the tiny blood vessels in the heart are working. It may help people who have chest pain but don't have major blockages in their main heart arteries.
This study tests whether a new MRI technique (called ACCELERATE-CMR) can better detect blockages in the heart's arteries compared to the standard stress MRI. It aims to improve diagnosis of coronary artery disease in people with chest pain or heart failure.
This trial is testing a new way to diagnose problems in the small blood vessels of the heart that can cause chest pain even when the main arteries look clear. The test uses a special technique to measure how well these small vessels work, which could help find the cause of your symptoms.
This study uses a special MRI scan of the heart (called coronary MRA) to look for narrowed blood vessels. It's being tested to see if it can be done without needing contrast dye or radiation, and results will be compared with a standard CT scan you're already scheduled for.
This study tests a new kind of stress test to understand how small blood-vessel heart problems relate to heart relaxation problems in people with angina (chest pain) but no blocked arteries. It may help doctors learn better ways to diagnose and guide treatment for these conditions.
