Heart MRI for detecting blocked arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a special heart MRI to check for blockages in the arteries that supply your heart. It may help find problems without needing more invasive tests, and could guide your doctor in choosing the best treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have symptoms that suggest your heart arteries might be blocked, but you have never been told you have heart artery disease.
- Your doctor has already decided you need a heart catheterization (a procedure to look inside your heart arteries).
- You have not had a heart attack or unstable chest pain recently.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you can have an MRI with contrast dye.
- You are not taking certain medications for erectile dysfunction or gout (like sildenafil or dipyridamole) that cannot be paused.

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.
This study uses MRI (a scanning test) to develop new ways to measure heart function in both healthy volunteers and people with suspected or known heart disease. It may help researchers create better heart tests that could improve future diagnosis and monitoring.
This study tests whether a special heart MRI can predict if you need a procedure to open blocked arteries, compared to the standard catheterization test. It may help avoid unnecessary procedures for some people.
This study uses an MRI scan to better “see and measure” early changes in the heart’s artery lining. It may help researchers understand coronary artery disease earlier, even before it causes symptoms.
This study uses advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to better understand and diagnose heart disease. If you have suspected or confirmed heart problems, this trial may help doctors get clearer pictures of your heart muscle and tissue to figure out what's causing 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.
