NCT ID NCT07247981
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test whether a special MRI technique called T1 mapping can find and measure tiny scars in the heart muscle of people with long-term thyroid disease. The goal is to see if this non-invasive scan can replace the need for a heart biopsy. The study plans to enroll 40 adults with chronic thyroid disease who do not have other major illnesses.
