Heart MRI study for heart failure with preserved pumping function
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have heart failure symptoms like shortness of breath or fatigue (at least NYHA class II).
- Your heart's pumping strength is normal (ejection fraction of 50% or higher).
- Your BNP or NT-proBNP levels are higher than normal (specific levels depend on your heart rhythm).
- You have certain heart structure or function changes seen on an ultrasound.
- You do not have other major heart conditions (like a recent heart attack or severe valve disease) or severe kidney problems.

This study helps doctors better understand a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but has trouble relaxing and filling with blood. Researchers will use ultrasound, blood tests, and clinical information to identify different subtypes and improve treatment.
This trial studies people who have heart failure symptoms but whose heart pumping strength is largely preserved. It aims to better understand this specific type of heart failure and how best to treat or evaluate it.
This study looks at whether fat around the heart affects a type of heart failure where the heart pumps well but is stiff (HFpEF). You may be able to join if you have this condition, are 18 or older, and can understand English.
This study looks for people who may have a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but still doesn't work well. It aims to better understand who gets this condition and how to spot it earlier.
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 uses heart MRI scans to find unrecognized heart failure in people who have risk factors like diabetes, kidney disease, high blood pressure, or obesity but haven't been diagnosed with heart failure yet. If you join, you will help researchers learn how common hidden heart failure is and take an important step for your own heart health.
