Improved cardiac MRI for detecting coronary artery disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a new MRI technique (called ACCELERATE-CMR) can better detect blockages in the heart's arteries compared to the standard stress MRI. It aims to improve diagnosis of coronary artery disease in people with chest pain or heart failure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Are 18 years of age or older
- Have been referred for a routine stress cardiac MRI (a test that looks at blood flow to your heart during stress)
- Have chest pain or symptoms that could be related to your heart, or have heart failure (or suspected heart failure)
- Are willing and able to give written consent to participate
- Do not have any absolute contraindications to MRI or the medication used during the test (adenosine), such as certain implanted devices, severe lung disease, severe kidney problems, uncontrolled arrhythmia, or severe claustrophobia
- Have not had a normal invasive coronary angiogram (a heart artery X-ray) within the past 12 months

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 uses a special heart MRI to check for blockages in the arteries that supply your heart. It may help find problems without needing more invasive tests, and could guide your doctor in choosing the best treatment.
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 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 uses a special MRI scan of the heart (called coronary MRA) to look for narrowed blood vessels. It's being tested to see if it can be done without needing contrast dye or radiation, and results will be compared with a standard CT scan you're already scheduled for.
This study uses advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to better understand and diagnose heart disease. If you have suspected or confirmed heart problems, this trial may help doctors get clearer pictures of your heart muscle and tissue to figure out what's causing your symptoms.
