STICOS will test the hypothesis that residual jeopardized myocardium, late gadolinium enhancement, and non-ischemic substrate after revascularization is associated with postoperative adverse cardiovascular events such as heart failure , readmission, or death. This study will look at whether certain heart tissue abnormalities seen on MRI scans can help predict serious health problems after heart procedures like stents or bypass surgery.
This is a multi-center, prospective, observational study designed to evaluate the impact of LV myocardial fibrosis extent assessed by CMR on LV reverse remodeling and clinical outcomes post TEER. The target sample will be up to 125 patients enrolled to achieve 100 evaluable at 6 months of follow-up. Enrollment will occur at up to eight centers.
This research aims to investigate whether symptoms of chest pain or shortness of breath among the study population are arising due to a heart problem, particularly any reduction of blood flow to the heart muscle from blockages in the coronary blood vessels or inflammation of the heart using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging that measures the amount of blood flow during a stress state meant to simulate vigorous exercise. At present, doctors use standard magnetic resonance imaging pictures of blood flow patterns to treat heart disease. The investigators want to study if detailed blood flow measurements, in addition to the standard blood flow pattern, could diagnose heart disease more accurately and allow more doctors to understand the severity of heart disease. Early research has demonstrated that detailed blood flow measurements may be more accurate in diagnosing heart disease in some patients, but doctors need more information to know how to use these measurements.
Longitudinal, observational cohort study to evaluate changes in left atrial (LA) reservoir function during exercise and overall exertional capacity in patients following catheter ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF).
The purpose of this study is to test if visualizing the heart with cardiac MRI/echo will be important in the understanding cardiac function and prediction of cardiopulmonary symptoms, physical effort tolerance, and outcomes in COVID-19 survivors. If successful, the research will allow us to identify the causes of lasting cardiopulmonary symptoms and begin developing cardiac and lung directed therapies accordingly.
This study is being done to find out the normal amount of blood within the heart muscle and the variations in this blood flow between a cardiac MRI and TTE.
The Dilated Cardiomyopathy-Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (DCM-CMR) Study is an ancillary study from the parent study, DCM Precision Medicine Study. The rationale for the DCM-CMR study is to leverage cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging to detect earliest findings of DCM in the at-risk family members enrolled into the parent study.
Non-contrast enhanced cardiac MRI using 3D whole heart acquisition protocol is non-inferior to contrast enhanced CT in the assessment of aortic annulus complex for pre-TAVR imaging.
The purpose of the study is to assess the effects of selexipag on right ventricular (RV) function in participants with Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
Researchers are examining the diagnostic utility of an exercise cardiac MRI (eCMR) in the assessment of cardiac dyspnea (shortness of breath).
