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 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 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 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.
This study uses heart MRI to find people with early signs of heart muscle disease who still have normal-sized heart chambers. It aims to better predict who is at risk so they can get earlier care.
This Phase 4 study checks whether a stronger MRI contrast dye (given in a higher “relaxivity” form) can better help doctors assess heart muscle scar tissue. You may be eligible if you already joined a prior similar MRI contrast study and can safely undergo another heart MRI.
This study tests a new MRI technique that may be faster and more reliable for measuring how well your heart pumps. If you are already scheduled for a heart MRI, this study could help improve future heart imaging.
