MRI-guided ICD implant study for heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using an MRI to guide the placement of a defibrillator (ICD) helps people with weak hearts. It might offer a more precise way to implant the device.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your heart's pumping strength (LVEF) is 35% or less, measured at least 40 to 90 days after a heart attack.
- You are able to attend all required tests and follow-up visits.
- You are taking the highest tolerated doses of certain heart medications (ACE inhibitors or ARBs, beta blockers, and MRAs).
- You are covered by French social security and have signed a consent form.

This trial studies whether implanting a defibrillator (ICD) soon after a heart attack can lower the risk of sudden cardiac death in people with weaker heart pumping and symptoms of heart failure. It compares strategies around defibrillator implantation, aiming to improve safety and outcomes.
This trial tests whether combining modern heart failure medications with an implantable defibrillator (ICD) can reduce the risk of dangerous heart rhythms and improve survival in people with dilated cardiomyopathy. It focuses on those with a weak heart pump and specific scarring seen on MRI.
This study tests heart imaging (using MRI) to better identify factors linked to sudden cardiac death risk. You may be eligible if you have reduced heart pumping ability and are planning a specific heart device to prevent dangerous heart rhythms.
This study tests whether using a special heart MRI to guide the placement of an implantable defibrillator (ICD) is safe and effective in people with dilated, non-ischemic cardiomyopathy and reduced heart pumping. It may help improve how accurately the device is positioned and support better care planning.
This study looks at whether using a heart MRI (CMR) to guide where to place an implanted defibrillator (ICD) improves outcomes for people with a weakened heart muscle caused by non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy. It’s for adults who have low pumping strength and evidence of heart scarring on MRI.
This study uses an MRI scan of the heart to better identify which people with heart failure need a defibrillator along with a special pacemaker (cardiac resynchronization therapy). The scan may help doctors decide if the device could improve your heart's pumping and reduce risks.
