Exercise MRI study for obesity-related heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses an exercise test with MRI to understand how obesity affects the heart in people with heart failure. It aims to find better ways to diagnose and help patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with heart failure by a heart doctor
- Your heart pumps blood normally or slightly below normal (ejection fraction 40% or higher)
- You are over 18 years old
- Your heartbeat is regular (normal sinus rhythm)
- You are able to pedal a stationary bike for a short exercise test
- Your body weight is less than 310 pounds (140 kg)

This study uses a special exercise MRI to see how the heart works during activity in people with a type of heart failure where the heart's pumping strength is normal. It also includes people with shortness of breath from other causes and healthy volunteers to compare results.
This trial uses a special heart MRI to create pressure-volume loops in people with heart failure who have a normal pumping strength (ejection fraction of 50% or higher). It aims to better understand heart function and could help guide future treatments. You may qualify if you have heart failure symptoms and specific heart structure or function changes.
This study looks at exercise intolerance in heart failure, using heart and lung tests to understand how symptoms affect activity. It may help researchers better identify what limits exercise and how heart failure impacts quality of life.
This trial uses advanced MRI scans to study early signs of heart failure in people whose heart pumps normally but who have risk factors like diabetes, high blood pressure, or obesity. It aims to improve detection and understanding of this condition.
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 looks at different types of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (a form of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't fill properly). Researchers will use past medical records and possibly a special exercise test to better understand these types and how to treat them.
