Heart imaging study for patients with low heart function and coronary artery disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses cardiac MRI to look at the heart in people with weakened heart muscle and blocked heart arteries. It may help doctors improve treatments like bypass surgery or stents.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 or older
- Weakened heart pumping function (ejection fraction of 40% or less)
- Blocked heart arteries (either multiple blocked arteries or a blocked left main artery)
- Planning to have bypass surgery or a stent within 3 months, or have had one in the past 9 months
- No other heart valve problems or conditions needing surgery
- No metal implants or devices that are unsafe for MRI, and no allergy to MRI contrast or certain heart stress medications

This study uses heart MRI scans to find markers that predict outcomes in people with ischemic heart disease, including those who have had a heart attack. It may help doctors better understand your condition and guide future 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 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 study uses an MRI scan of the heart to better identify which people with heart failure need a defibrillator along with a special pacemaker (cardiac resynchronization therapy). The scan may help doctors decide if the device could improve your heart's pumping and reduce risks.
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.
