Summary

This trial tests whether an accelerated heart MRI scan, taking only 15 to 20 minutes, can diagnose coronary artery disease as accurately as the standard 45- to 50-minute scan. About 2,000 adults with suspected coronary heart disease will be randomly assigned to receive either the standard or the faster scan. The study will compare clinical outcomes and patient comfort to see if the shorter scan can safely increase access to this non-invasive diagnostic test.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: accelerated stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) scan
What this could lead to: If successful, the faster scan could allow more patients to be diagnosed each day, reduce wait times, and improve patient comfort.
What could go wrong: The accelerated scan may not be as accurate as the standard version, potentially leading to missed diagnoses or unnecessary follow-up tests.
