Summary

This study looked at whether using cardiac MRI (a type of heart scan without radiation) can make it safer and more accurate to check children with heart failure, heart muscle disease, or who have had a heart transplant. Researchers compared MRI results with standard biopsy and X-ray methods in 113 children and adults. The goal was to see if MRI could reduce the need for radiation and improve detection of heart problems.
