MRI scan for heart failure with normal pumping strength
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses a special MRI scan with a natural contrast agent (manganese) to look at how well the heart muscle works in people with heart failure who still have normal pumping strength. The goal is to learn more about why this type of heart failure happens.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have heart failure with preserved pumping strength (ejection fraction 50% or higher) or have symptoms like breathlessness, swollen ankles, or fatigue along with a diagnosis of HFpEF.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant during the study.
- You do not have Type 1 diabetes, severe liver or kidney disease, or a recent heart attack (within 3 months).
- You do not have a pacemaker, implanted device, or other reason you can't have an MRI.
- You are not currently taking any other experimental drug or device for another trial.

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 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 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 looks for people who may be developing heart failure early, using heart imaging and related checks. If you fit the risk pattern, the results may help find heart failure sooner in similar people.
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 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.
