MRI breakthrough could make heart tests faster and safer
NCT ID NCT03152773
Summary
This study is testing a new method for guiding heart catheterization procedures using real-time MRI imaging instead of X-rays. Researchers want to see if special, low-energy MRI settings can safely allow the use of standard guidewires to steer the catheter, which could reduce the total time patients spend in the scanner. The study involves adults who already need a diagnostic heart catheterization for conditions like pulmonary hypertension or congenital heart disease.
