New MRI tricks could sharpen heart images for arrhythmia patients
NCT ID NCT02741180
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to make MRI scans clearer for people with heart arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat). Researchers will test two special imaging methods on 135 participants—105 with arrhythmia and 30 healthy volunteers—to see if they reduce blurry images caused by the irregular rhythm. The goal is to improve diagnosis without changing the standard MRI procedure.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria for Arrhythmia Patients: * Patients diagnosed with heart arrhythmia scheduled for routine clinical MRI examinations). * Patients scheduled for routine clinical MRI examinations who do not have a specific known diagnosis of arrhythmia, but who may be found to have image degradation due to arrhythmia during the CMR examination. Inclusion Criteria for Controls: * No history of heart arrhythmia. Exclusion Criteria for Patients and Controls: * Hemodynamic instability. * Contraindications for MRI examinations (e.g., pacemakers or ferromagnetic vascular clips). * History of prior cardiovascular disease or significant risk factors: * Diabetes, hypertension, smoking, and hyperlipidemia, etc.
