MRI study for heart health in liver transplant candidates
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a special heart MRI to check for a heart condition called cirrhotic cardiomyopathy in people waiting for a liver transplant. The results may help doctors better understand and treat heart problems in patients with cirrhosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cirrhosis and are waiting for a liver transplant.
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You do not have known heart disease (like heart attack, heart failure, or certain types of high blood pressure in the lungs).
- You do not have a TIPS (a tube placed in the liver to treat complications).
- You can safely have an MRI (no metal implants or devices like pacemakers, and no severe kidney disease).
- You do not have type 1 diabetes, an active infection, or HIV.
Quick eligibility check

This study looks at whether having an MRI scan during liver transplant planning helps predict who may have worse outcomes or higher risk of death. It focuses on adults with severe liver disease who are already being considered for a transplant.
This study uses advanced MRI imaging to measure blood flow in the liver and evaluate how well a procedure called TIPS (a small tube placed in the liver) works for managing liver cirrhosis. If you have cirrhosis and may need or are getting TIPS, this trial could help doctors better understand and improve outcomes.
This study uses special MRI scans after a living-donor kidney transplant to check how well the kidney is working. It aims to see if MRI can help monitor kidney health without needing a biopsy.
This study renews research using heart MRI scans to learn more about heart transplant patients and compare them with healthy control scans. It may help researchers understand heart function after transplant and improve future imaging care.
This study uses MRI imaging and computer modeling to better plan liver surgery and related liver treatments. It may help doctors predict circulation (blood flow) changes during surgery and choose safer surgical timing or approaches.
This study uses a special MRI scan to look at heart muscle metabolism in people with heart failure caused by blocked arteries. It may help doctors better understand which heart tissue is still alive and could recover.
