Better heart scar detection with MRI
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to use heart MRI to find scarring (fibrosis) in the heart muscle. It may help doctors detect heart damage more accurately.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older).
- You have been referred for a heart MRI with contrast dye at Akershus University Hospital.
- You do not have any reason that would make contrast dye unsafe for you.
- You are able to understand and agree to take part in the study.

This trial looks at heart MRI images to see whether a contrast dye (gadolinium) can highlight scar-like areas after congenital heart problems have been repaired. It may help doctors better understand healing and plan care, especially for future heart procedures.
This study uses a special heart MRI to look at scar tissue after a heart attack and see if it can help predict who might need a device to prevent sudden cardiac arrest. It is for people who had a heart attack at least a month ago and had a cardiac MRI at Anzhen Hospital.
This study evaluates a new way to analyze heart function using a standard cardiac MRI scanner. If you have heart disease and need a heart MRI anyway, this trial tests whether this new analysis method works well across different hospitals and MRI machines.
This study checks whether a new, higher-detail heart MRI technique can produce reliable heart images. You might help researchers improve how doctors see and assess the heart during routine MRI care.
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 advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to better understand and diagnose heart disease. If you have suspected or confirmed heart problems, this trial may help doctors get clearer pictures of your heart muscle and tissue to figure out what's causing your symptoms.
