Observational Study on Cardiac MRI for Heart Disease
This observational study, STICH3C, is looking at whether specific heart tissue abnormalities seen on Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMR) scans can help predict serious health problems after heart procedures like stents or bypass surgery. Researchers will use CMR, a non-invasive imaging technique that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed pictures of your heart. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, have reduced heart pumping ability (LVEF ≤ 40%), and have significant blockages in multiple heart arteries. The study aims to understand if certain heart tissue features after revascularization (procedures to restore blood flow) are linked to future issues like heart failure or death. The study's status is currently unclear, and it plans to enroll 200 participants.
- Study design
- This is an observational study, meaning researchers will observe participants without providing a specific treatment. It plans to enroll 200 participants.
- What's involved
- Not specified in the trial record.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary endpoint, Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMR) Indices, will be measured at 5 years, suggesting a follow-up period of at least 5 years.
