Heart Nerve Imaging in Heart Failure with ICD
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a special imaging agent (18F-mFBG) to take pictures of the nerves in your heart. It aims to better understand heart function in people with heart failure and an ICD.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have stable heart failure caused by narrowed or blocked heart arteries.
- Your heart’s pumping strength (LVEF) is 35% or less.
- You have an implanted defibrillator (ICD) that's been in place for at least 12 months.
- You do not have unstable coronary artery disease.

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 early-phase study uses a special MRI scan to look at the heart in people with heart failure (and related heart changes). It aims to see whether these MRI results can better characterize heart disease and help doctors understand what’s going on.
This study helps doctors place pacemaker leads in the best location for patients with heart failure and specific heart rhythm patterns. Advanced imaging scans are used to find the area of the heart that will benefit most from the treatment.
This study uses a special PET scan to look for scarring (fibrosis) in the heart muscle of people with heart failure. It may help doctors better understand why some hearts get stiff or weak.
This trial tests a special heart scan (18F-MFBG) to see if it can help doctors better manage heart failure. You may qualify if you have chronic heart failure with a weak heart pump and are planning to get a defibrillator.
This study uses special imaging scans (MRI and PET) to look at the health of the heart muscle in people with advanced heart failure caused by blocked arteries. The goal is to better predict recovery after bypass surgery.
