Summary

This study tests a new cardiac MRI method called Free-Running Framework (FRF) that lets patients breathe normally and skips the sticky ECG electrodes. It captures a 3D image of the whole heart in one go, potentially making scans faster and more comfortable. Researchers will compare FRF results with standard MRI in 300 adults with heart disease across 18 centers to see if it's just as accurate.
