Clinical Trials

The purpose of this study is to create a standardized cardiac MRI imaging protocol for patients with Congenital Heart Disease. 

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic benefit of adding exercise to cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging to help show early changes that may assist in the earlier diagnosis of Pulmonary Artery Hypertension.

The purpose of this study is to prospectively determine if magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) results in myocardial injury as assessed by changes in high sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) assay. This will be done by comparing pre-and-post MRI hs-cTnT levels in these patients.

The purpose of this study is to assess cardiac dyspnea using exercise cardiac magnetic resonance as a diagnostic tool.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the standard Myocardial Blood Volume Measurement (MBV) by Real-Time Myocardial Perfusion Echocardiography (RTMPE) and compare this to the myocardial volume ratio by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR).

The purpose of this study is to provide normal reference values for cardiac magnetic resonance elastography.

This study will focus on demonstrating the benefits of Photon Counting Detector CT Scan (PCD-CT) for clinical indications and findings are expected to benefit the diagnosis and characterization of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and myocardial perfusion defects.

Specific Aim:  

In patients, measure the clinical impact of cardiac PCD-CT on patient diagnosis and management

The purpose of this study is to determine whether cardiac magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) can detect acute myocardial infarctions in humans as areas of increased stiffness, and to compare cardiac MRE stiffness to microvascular obstruction in acute myocardial infarction.  

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of quantitative MBF technique by MRI in patients with cardiomyopathy and to determine the correlation with the current clinical standard of 13N-ammonia PET.  

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of menopause transition on myocardial stiffness in healthy female subjects without a history of heart disease who are expected to be close to the average age of menopause transition (~51 years), in the 48-53 year age range. All eligible subjects will undergo two study visits that will include a cardiac MRI/MRE exam, echocardiography imaging and blood test.

The purpose of this aim is to characterize the relationship between the serum estradiol level and myocardial stiffness changes in young women (<46) on estradiol replacement therapy after bilateral oophorectomy.  Subjects will be ...
