Heart MRI to predict blocked arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special heart MRI can predict if you need a procedure to open blocked arteries, compared to the standard catheterization test. It may help avoid unnecessary procedures for some people.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your doctor recommends a stress heart MRI or a heart catheterization to check blood flow.
- You are 18 years or older and can give informed consent.
- You do not have severe kidney disease (eGFR <30).
- You do not have any medical device that is not safe for MRI.
- You are not allergic to the medications used for stress testing.

This study uses a special heart MRI to check for blockages in the arteries that supply your heart. It may help find problems without needing more invasive tests, and could guide your doctor in choosing the best treatment.
This study uses a special MRI scan of the heart (called coronary MRA) to look for narrowed blood vessels. It's being tested to see if it can be done without needing contrast dye or radiation, and results will be compared with a standard CT scan you're already scheduled for.
This study tests whether a new MRI technique (called ACCELERATE-CMR) can better detect blockages in the heart's arteries compared to the standard stress MRI. It aims to improve diagnosis of coronary artery disease in people with chest pain or heart failure.
This study tests a new way to diagnose small blood vessel disease in the heart using an MRI scan during a stress test. It is for people who are already participating in a larger heart imaging study and are scheduled for a catheter procedure.
This study uses an MRI scan to better “see and measure” early changes in the heart’s artery lining. It may help researchers understand coronary artery disease earlier, even before it causes symptoms.
This trial is testing whether a special heart CT scan (coronary CT angiography) can help doctors better understand and treat calcium buildup in your heart arteries. If you have a type of heart disease that might need a stent or other procedure, this study could help decide the best approach.
