Exercise heart MRI in heart failure with preserved pumping strength
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a special exercise MRI to see how the heart works during activity in people with a type of heart failure where the heart's pumping strength is normal. It also includes people with shortness of breath from other causes and healthy volunteers to compare results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (your heart pumps out at least half the blood each beat).
- You have shortness of breath but tests show it's not due to heart failure (non-cardiac dyspnea group).
- You are a healthy volunteer with no history of shortness of breath or trouble exercising.
- You are able and willing to undergo an exercise cardiac MRI scan.
- You have not been hospitalized for heart failure in the last 30 days.

This study uses an advanced heart scan (CMR heart MRI) to better recognize a type of heart failure where the pumping strength is preserved. If you fit the criteria, the MRI and related testing may help your doctors and researchers understand your condition more accurately.
This study uses a special MRI scan with a natural contrast agent (manganese) to look at how well the heart muscle works in people with heart failure who still have normal pumping strength. The goal is to learn more about why this type of heart failure happens.
This study looks at how the heart and metabolism work together during exercise in healthy adults. It uses special tests (including a heart catheterization during exercise and an MRI) to understand normal heart function and reserve capacity.
This study uses an exercise test with MRI to understand how obesity affects the heart in people with heart failure. It aims to find better ways to diagnose and help patients.
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 looks at exercise intolerance in heart failure, using heart and lung tests to understand how symptoms affect activity. It may help researchers better identify what limits exercise and how heart failure impacts quality of life.
