Accelerated CMR for detecting coronary artery disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a faster heart scan (CMR) to detect blocked arteries. It's for people with chest pain or heart failure symptoms who are already scheduled for a stress MRI.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old
- You have been referred for a stress CMR because of chest pain or heart failure symptoms
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have no metal implants or devices that are not safe for MRI
- You do not have severe kidney problems (eGFR < 30)
- You do not have severe asthma or a slow heart rate that prevents use of adenosine

This study tests a new way to diagnose small blood vessel disease in the heart using an MRI scan during a stress test. It is for people who are already participating in a larger heart imaging study and are scheduled for a catheter procedure.
This study compares two heart-imaging tests—cardiac MRI (CMR) and CT—to see which better helps evaluate coronary artery disease in people with chest pain. You may be asked to have one of these scans as part of your heart work-up.
This trial tests an automated MRI scan approach (using an “iNav” method) to look for narrowing in the heart arteries. It may help doctors spot “coronary artery stenosis” (tightening of the arteries) more easily compared with standard imaging workflows.
This trial uses a special heart MRI to look for blockages in the arteries that can cause chest pain or shortness of breath. It is for people who have not been diagnosed with heart disease before and are already scheduled for a catheterization procedure.
This trial compares using a cardiac MRI before the standard catheterization (angiogram) in people with a suspected heart attack that doesn't show the typical ECG changes. It aims to see if the MRI can help guide decisions and avoid unnecessary procedures.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive heart mapping technique can guide treatment for stable coronary artery disease, potentially avoiding more expensive or invasive tests. You may join if you have stable angina and a blockage of 50-90% in a major heart artery.
