This study is investigating how changes in the heart's structure contribute to heart failure. Researchers are using Diffusion Tensor MRI (DTI), which measures water movement in the heart to understand muscle fiber orientation, and Gadolinium DOTA Meglumine, a contrast agent, to get detailed images. They hope to understand how heart failure develops and progresses. You might be able to join if you are a healthy adult, or if you've recently had a heart attack (myocardial infarction) and are stable, or if you've experienced heart failure in the last year and have left ventricular hypertrophy (thickening of the heart's main pumping chamber). The main goal is to measure the heart's muscle fiber angle after 12 months. The current status of this study is unclear.

Study design

This is an interventional study planning to enroll 160 participants. It involves using specific imaging techniques to understand heart structure.

What's involved

Not specified in the trial record.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

The primary endpoint is measured at 12 months, suggesting participants will be followed for at least that long.
