Heart fat and heart failure with preserved pumping ability study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at fat around the heart in people with heart failure where the heart still pumps normally. It uses MRI scans to understand this fat better, and may help find new treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- Your heart's pumping strength is normal (ejection fraction at least 50%).
- You have at least 2 risk factors for this type of heart failure or symptoms like shortness of breath, leg swelling, or trouble breathing when lying flat.
- You are not currently taking a GLP-1 receptor agonist medicine (like Ozempic or Wegovy).
- You do not have a pacemaker or other implanted device that prevents MRI scans.

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at people who have heart failure symptoms but whose heart pumping strength is not reduced. Researchers aim to better understand this type of heart failure and compare it with people who have no history of heart disease or heart failure.
This trial uses a special heart MRI to create pressure-volume loops in people with heart failure who have a normal pumping strength (ejection fraction of 50% or higher). It aims to better understand heart function and could help guide future treatments. You may qualify if you have heart failure symptoms and specific heart structure or function changes.
This study tests advanced MRI techniques to better understand heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), a condition where the heart pumps normally but still doesn't work well. It may help improve diagnosis and treatment for patients with this type of heart failure.
This trial uses advanced MRI scans to study early signs of heart failure in people whose heart pumps normally but who have risk factors like diabetes, high blood pressure, or obesity. It aims to improve detection and understanding of this condition.
This trial studies people who have heart-related symptoms but do not have clear blocked heart arteries, using special heart imaging. It may help researchers better understand early forms of heart weakness (with preserved pumping function) and improve how these conditions are diagnosed.
This study looks at how the heart muscle works in people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't fill properly. It aims to understand the cause better, which could lead to new treatments.
