Heart MRI Scar Study to Predict Sudden Cardiac Arrest Risk
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a special heart MRI to look at scar tissue after a heart attack and see if it can help predict who might need a device to prevent sudden cardiac arrest. It is for people who had a heart attack at least a month ago and had a cardiac MRI at Anzhen Hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have had a heart attack and a cardiac MRI at least one month after it at Anzhen Hospital.
- You do not already have an ICD or CRT-D defibrillator.
- You do not have a primary arrhythmia condition like long QT or Brugada syndrome.
- You do not have a serious non-heart disease expected to reduce your life expectancy to under one year.
- You do not have a pre-existing non-ischemic cardiomyopathy or severe heart valve disease requiring mechanical valve replacement.

This study is testing if a special heart MRI taken within a week of a STEMI heart attack can help doctors predict your recovery and future risks. It may help tailor your follow-up care.
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 helps doctors identify which heart attack survivors with moderate heart weakness are at highest risk of sudden cardiac death. Researchers will collect health information and heart imaging over 5 years to find early warning signs.
This study uses a special MRI of the heart and a computer model to predict long-term recovery after a first heart attack (STEMI). It aims to help doctors better understand which patients may need more follow-up care.
This study looks at people who already had a heart MRI before getting a pacemaker, defibrillator, or other heart device. It aims to learn how MRI results might predict long-term outcomes for these patients.
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.
