New scan could reveal hidden heart problems

NCT ID NCT06731738

Summary

This study tested a new type of MRI scan using a contrast agent called mangafodipir. The goal was to see if this scan could measure how well heart muscle cells are working in people with a specific type of heart failure where the heart is stiff but still pumps normally. Researchers compared scans from 44 people, including healthy volunteers and patients with heart failure, to see if the new method provides useful information for diagnosis and future treatment planning.
