Heart and Metabolism in Healthy Adults (CAMERA Study)
This study looks at how the heart and metabolism work together during exercise in healthy adults. It uses special tests (including a heart catheterization during exercise and an MRI) to understand normal heart function and reserve capacity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be generally healthy with no symptoms of shortness of breath or tiredness when exercising.
- You must have no history of heart failure or any other heart, lung, or blood disorders that could affect safety.
- You must have a normal heart pumping function (ejection fraction of 50% or higher).
- You must be willing to undergo invasive heart testing during exercise, an MRI, and other study procedures.
- You cannot be pregnant or have a condition like anemia or kidney disease that would make participation unsafe.

This trial uses heart MRI scanning to create normal reference measurements in women who appear to have no heart blood-flow problems. It may help doctors compare future MRI results and better interpret scans when symptoms happen.
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.
This study uses a special exercise MRI to see how the heart works during activity in people with a type of heart failure where the heart's pumping strength is normal. It also includes people with shortness of breath from other causes and healthy volunteers to compare results.
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.
This study uses multiple imaging methods to understand how the heart works in healthy adults. If you are generally healthy, you may help researchers learn more about normal heart function.
This study measures how much oxygen your heart can use during stress and at rest using an MRI scan. It compares people with metabolic syndrome (a cluster of health risks) to people without those risks, to understand differences in heart function.
