Heart blood flow scan study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to measure blood flow in the heart using an MRI scan. It may help doctors better diagnose chest pain and decide on treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have chest pain that comes and goes, and your doctor thinks you might have heart disease but it's not certain.
- You are already scheduled for a non-invasive test (like a stress test or imaging) to check for heart disease.
- You are able to have an MRI scan (no metal implants, not very claustrophobic, and your kidneys are working well).
- You can safely do a stress test (no recent heart attack, serious irregular heartbeat, severe lung disease, or heart block).
Quick eligibility check

This study compares two heart imaging tests: magnetocardiography (a magnetic scan) and emission computed tomography (ECT), to see if the magnetic scan can help detect reduced blood flow to the heart. If you're already scheduled for an ECT scan, this study may help show whether the newer magnetic test works as well.
This study uses a special stress heart MRI to measure blood flow and find blockages in the arteries that supply your heart. It is for people with chest pain or abnormal EKG results who have risk factors for heart disease, to help doctors diagnose and treat coronary artery disease more accurately.
This study checks whether a magnet-based heart scan (magnetocardiography) can more accurately find “true ischemia,” which means reduced blood flow to the heart, in people who come to the emergency room with chest pain. It aims to help doctors tell which chest pain is truly from heart blood-flow problems.
This study tests a special heart scan that measures blood flow to the heart muscle. It may help doctors decide if your heart blockages need treatment or if medication is enough.
This study uses a special heart MRI to look at blood-flow patterns and how they relate to heart muscle injury. It may help researchers better understand different types of heart damage by comparing people with and without injury.
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.
