Heart MRI to detect blocked arteries in new patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial uses a special heart MRI to look for blockages in the arteries that can cause chest pain or shortness of breath. It is for people who have not been diagnosed with heart disease before and are already scheduled for a catheterization procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have symptoms that suggest your heart arteries might be blocked.
- You have never been diagnosed with heart artery disease or had a heart attack.
- You have never had a stent placed or bypass surgery on your heart.
- You are scheduled for a catheterization (dye test) of your heart arteries.

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 trial looks at people with a blockage in a heart artery of 50% or more. It tests a new way to check the blockage using a special CT scan. This could help decide the best treatment to prevent future heart problems.
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 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 trial uses a special heart MRI to measure blood flow and predict if arteries are blocked. It may help decide if you need a catheter procedure to open blockages.
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.
