New MRI scan could spot heart problems earlier
NCT ID NCT07617844
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 29, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study is testing a comprehensive MRI scan to see if it can better diagnose different heart conditions. Researchers will scan 2,000 adults with suspected or confirmed heart disease. The goal is to create a standard imaging method that improves early detection and risk prediction.
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 more accurate, non-invasive way to diagnose and predict outcomes for various heart diseases, helping doctors choose the best treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly test a new therapy, and the results may not change current practice immediately.

Who is studied
The study population consists of consecutive adult patients (aged 18 years and older) who are clinically suspected or confirmed to have cardiovascular diseases (CVD), including but not limited to ischemic heart disease, non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, and valvular heart disease. These participants are enrolled from the Second Affiliated Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine. They are patients who are scheduled to undergo a multi-modal cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) examination as part of their clinical evaluation to determine disease etiology or assess myocardial tissue characteristics.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Aged 18 years and older, with no gender restrictions. Clinically suspected or confirmed cardiovascular disease (including but not limited to ischemic heart disease, non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, valvular disease, etc.), requiring a cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) examination to determine the etiology or evaluate myocardial tissue characteristics. No contraindications to magnetic resonance examination, and able to cooperate with breath-holding instructions. Voluntarily participate in this study and sign a written informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: * Absolute contraindications: Implantation of non-MRI compatible metallic foreign bodies (e.g., old pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators \[ICD\], aneurysm clips, etc.). Relative contraindications: Severe claustrophobia, unable to complete the examination despite communication. Severe renal insufficiency. Special populations: Pregnant or lactating women. Presence of severe arrhythmias (e.g., persistent atrial fibrillation) leading to severely impaired magnetic resonance signal acquisition, rendering the image quality inadequate for diagnosis. Poor expected compliance: Unable to complete follow-up, or deemed unsuitable for enrollment by the investigator for other reasons.
