New MRI study aims to spot heart failure before it starts
NCT ID NCT07336316
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study uses advanced heart MRI scans to better understand early-stage heart failure in people with risk factors like diabetes, high blood pressure, or obesity. Researchers will follow 3,000 participants over time to see how the heart changes and who develops serious problems. The goal is to improve diagnosis and risk prediction, not to test a new treatment.
