Heart imaging study for people with heart failure and blocked arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses heart MRIs to learn more about people who have heart failure and significant blockages in their coronary arteries. If you are planning to have bypass surgery or a stent, the study may be a fit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your heart's pumping strength is at or below 40% (measured within the last 2 months).
- You have at least two blocked coronary arteries (one being the left anterior descending artery) with at least 70% blockage, or a blockage in the left main artery of over 50%.
- You are scheduled to have bypass surgery (CABG) or a stent (PCI) within the next 3 months.
- You do not have another heart condition needing surgery, like a bad heart valve or aneurysm.
- You do not have any metal implants or devices that are not MRI-safe, and you are not allergic to the contrast dye or stress medications used in the MRI.

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 trial uses a special heart MRI to look for blockages in the arteries that can cause chest pain or shortness of breath. It is for people who have not been diagnosed with heart disease before and are already scheduled for a catheterization procedure.
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 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.
This study uses a special imaging test (PET/MR) to check if damaged heart muscle is still alive and can recover. It is for people with severe blocked arteries and weak heart pumping function who are planning bypass surgery or stem cell treatment.
