New imaging techniques aim to catch hidden heart failure

NCT ID NCT06905405

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether advanced heart scans (echocardiogram and MRI) can help diagnose a type of heart failure called HFpEF, where the heart is stiff but pumps normally. Standard tests often miss it, leaving many without proper treatment. Researchers will study 40 adults with symptoms like breathlessness but unclear diagnoses, using imaging to find signs of HFpEF and then start treatment if needed.
