What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to more accurate diagnosis of heart muscle disease using a stronger MRI scanner.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 13 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The 7T MRI is not yet widely available.
