8,000-Patient MRI study aims to unlock secrets of heart disease
NCT ID NCT03749343
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study uses advanced MRI techniques to measure changes in heart muscle tissue in 8,000 adults with heart failure, heart muscle disease, inflammation, coronary artery disease, or chronic kidney disease. The goal is to see if these measurements can help doctors better diagnose disease and predict who is at risk for serious outcomes like death or hospitalization. Participants will have a clinically indicated cardiac MRI, and researchers will track their health over time.
