Heart and metabolic imaging study using a special MRI scan
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a new MRI method that uses a safe, natural substance (pyruvate) to take detailed pictures of the heart and metabolism. It may help doctors better understand heart disease, diabetes, and related conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 21 years or older.
- You are either a healthy volunteer with no major medical issues, or you have a heart or metabolic condition like heart disease, diabetes, or fatty liver.
- You cannot have any metal implants, severe claustrophobia, or unstable health issues like uncontrolled heart failure or high blood pressure.
- You cannot be pregnant or nursing.
- You must be willing to follow study procedures and give signed permission.

This study uses a labeled nutrient-like molecule ([13C]pyruvate) to create clearer MRI images. It’s for healthy volunteers and helps researchers understand how well this imaging agent works.
This study tests new or improved heart imaging methods to understand whether people have heart-related blood vessel disease. It may help by comparing scan results to your health history and other testing to better spot heart problems earlier.
This study uses two imaging scans to see if parts of your heart muscle are still alive but not working well. This could help doctors decide if you might benefit from heart bypass surgery.
This study uses detailed heart scans and information about metabolism (how your body uses energy) to understand how metabolic treatments and heart rehabilitation may affect your health. You may qualify either as someone undergoing bariatric (weight-loss) care or as part of a heart rehabilitation group—or as a healthy comparison group.
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 is testing a new way to take pictures of the heart using MRI. It is looking for healthy volunteers to help make sure the technology works correctly.
