Groundbreaking MRI peers into Heart's fuel gauge without radiation
NCT ID NCT06054516
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a special MRI that can show how heart cells process energy in people with ischemic heart disease. About 15 adults with chronic heart failure will get this scan along with standard tests. The goal is to see if this new method can tell healthy from damaged heart tissue without using radiation.
