Who this trial is looking for

This trial is looking for healthy individuals and people with known or suspected heart disease, ages 7 and older. Participants will undergo MRI scans to help researchers find better ways to image the heart and other organs.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

You may be able to join if

  • I am at least 7 years old
  • I can follow instructions and lie still during the MRI
  • I have been diagnosed with cardiovascular disease or I am healthy
  • I can give my consent or my guardian can provide consent
  • I am willing to cooperate with all study procedures
  • I have suspected or known cardiovascular disease

You may not be able to join if

  • I have had a major heart condition
  • I have certain medical devices that are unsafe for MRI
  • I am pregnant or unsure if I am pregnant
  • I am breastfeeding and not willing to discard breast milk for 24 hours if receiving contrast
  • My kidney function is too low
  • I have instability in my heart or lungs

About This Trial
Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an important non-invasive tool to study and diagnose cardiovascular disease. MRI scanners use strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create pictures of body organs. Researchers want to find better MRI methods and new ways of imaging cardiovascular disease and better understand normal and abnormal cardiovascular and brain function. Researchers are…
