How a few days of bed rest affect your heart
This study looks at how a short period of bed rest affects heart function, using an MRI scan (a safe imaging test that uses magnetic fields to take detailed pictures). You may be asked to stay in bed for a while to measure the changes in your heart.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You cannot be taking any medications that affect your heart.
- You must be able to undergo an MRI scan (no pacemaker, metal implants, or severe claustrophobia).
- You cannot have diabetes, kidney disease, or liver disease.
- You cannot be pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant during the study.
- You must be willing to be told about any unexpected health findings from the scan.

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.
This study looks at how the heart and metabolism work together during exercise in healthy adults. It uses special tests (including a heart catheterization during exercise and an MRI) to understand normal heart function and reserve capacity.
This study adds an MRI and other measurements to a heart registry to better understand heart function. You might benefit by getting detailed heart and kidney measurements, but you must meet safety and eligibility rules (like blood pressure, BMI, and being off heart medicines).
This study uses a special heart MRI to look at blood-flow patterns and how they relate to heart muscle injury. It may help researchers better understand different types of heart damage by comparing people with and without injury.
This study tests new imaging techniques, like MRI and CT scans, to better see heart and blood vessel problems. It may help doctors find heart disease earlier and guide treatment.
This study uses a short, 10-minute heart MRI to check how well it works for people who need a clinically indicated heart scan. It may help streamline heart MRI testing, making exams faster while still providing useful heart information.
