Heart MRI for heart attack with no blocked arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how common myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) is in people who have had a heart attack without blocked arteries. If you join, you'll have an MRI of your heart to check for inflammation, which may explain your symptoms better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You've had heart attack symptoms and your doctor found you have MINOCA (a heart attack with no major blocked arteries).
- Your ECG (heart tracing) shows changes, or your heart ultrasound shows abnormal heart muscle movement.
- Your cardiac enzyme blood tests were positive (indicating heart muscle damage).
- An angiogram showed no significant narrowing (less than 50% blockage) in your heart arteries.
- You have not been diagnosed with myocarditis or cardiomyopathy before.
- You can safely have an MRI (no pacemaker or severe kidney disease).

This study uses a special heart MRI to look closely at inflammation in the heart muscle. It helps doctors better understand and treat myocarditis and inflammatory cardiomyopathy.
This study collects information from heart MRI scans to better understand and diagnose myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle. It may help improve future diagnosis and treatment.
This study looks at people who may have MINOCA (heart attack symptoms with no major artery blockage) or takotsubo syndrome (a temporary stress-related heart condition). The goal is to better understand these causes and how they should be diagnosed and treated.
This study looks at why some people have chest pain and heart injury signs, but their heart arteries are not blocked. It tests scans of blood flow and heart tissue to better understand the cause and guide care.
This study uses a special MRI approach to measure details of your heart muscle in people with certain heart problems. It may help researchers better understand how different conditions affect the heart and how those changes can be measured.
This trial compares using a cardiac MRI before the standard catheterization (angiogram) in people with a suspected heart attack that doesn't show the typical ECG changes. It aims to see if the MRI can help guide decisions and avoid unnecessary procedures.
