Heart muscle disease imaging study for scarring
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses advanced imaging (PET/MR or PET/CT) to look at scarring (fibrosis) in the heart muscle. It is for people with various heart muscle diseases, including heart failure with preserved pumping, thickened heart muscle, high blood pressure-related heart damage, heart inflammation, and others.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 30 and 90 years old.
- You have one of the listed heart conditions (heart failure with preserved pumping, thickened heart muscle, high blood pressure heart damage, irregular heart rhythm, heart inflammation, broken heart syndrome, or cardiac sarcoidosis).
- You agree to participate and sign the consent form.
- You are not severely claustrophobic and can lie flat for a PET/MR or PET/CT scan.
- Your kidney function is adequate (eGFR 30 or above).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have a serious allergy to contrast dyes (iodine or gadolinium).

This study uses a special PET scan (68Ga-FAPI) to look at inflammation in the heart. It may help researchers understand heart failure and cardiac sarcoidosis better.
This study uses an advanced heart scan (CMR heart MRI) to better recognize a type of heart failure where the pumping strength is preserved. If you fit the criteria, the MRI and related testing may help your doctors and researchers understand your condition more accurately.
This study uses a special PET scan to look for scarring (fibrosis) in the heart muscle of people with heart failure. It may help doctors better understand why some hearts get stiff or weak.
This study uses a special imaging agent to see a protein called PDGFRß in the heart, which may help detect scarring (fibrosis) after a heart attack or in heart failure. It aims to improve how we understand and treat heart muscle damage.
This study uses advanced heart scans (PET/CT and MRI) to look at inflammation, blood vessel health, and scarring in the hearts of people with Fabry disease. It aims to better understand how Fabry disease affects the heart and find new ways to track or treat these changes.
This study uses special imaging scans (MRI and PET) to look at the health of the heart muscle in people with advanced heart failure caused by blocked arteries. The goal is to better predict recovery after bypass surgery.
