MRI scans could reveal hidden heart attack risks
NCT ID NCT01076660
Summary
This study aims to improve how doctors identify which heart patients are at highest risk for sudden cardiac death. Researchers will use detailed MRI scans to look at the heart's structure in 400 patients with weakened heart function who are being considered for defibrillator implants. The goal is to find better ways to predict who truly needs these life-saving devices, potentially avoiding unnecessary implants for lower-risk patients.
