Summary

This study looks at whether a special heart MRI can find problems in the small arteries of women who have chest pain but no major blockages. About 375 women will get both a standard angiogram and a cardiac MRI to compare results. The goal is to see if the MRI can detect hidden heart issues without needing invasive procedures.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to: If successful, this could lead to a simpler, noninvasive way to diagnose hidden heart problems in women, improving detection and care.
What could go wrong: This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The MRI method may not prove accurate enough to replace current tests, and results may not apply to all women.
