This study is looking at how to best use Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Cardiac MRI) to understand heart conditions in women. Researchers will study 20 healthy women, aged 35 to 65, who do not have symptoms of heart disease or cardiac risk factors. The goal is to learn more about how Cardiac MRI works in healthy women, which can help doctors better diagnose and treat small artery heart disease in women. This condition affects women more than men and can lead to delays in diagnosis and treatment. The study involves up to three Cardiac MRI scans over one to four months.

Study design

This is an observational study involving 20 healthy women. It is not a drug trial, but rather looks at how a medical imaging technique works.

What's involved

You would fill out questionnaires, have an exercise treadmill test, undergo up to three Cardiac MRI scans, have peripheral arterial tonometry, provide blood samples, and have central arterial stiffness measured up to three times.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

The primary endpoint, Cardiac MRI, is measured at a study visit. The study involves up to three scans over 1-4 months, suggesting follow-up during this period.
