Summary

This trial is testing new ways of imaging the heart and other organs using MRI. It will also look at the relationship between cardiovascular disease and other organ systems.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 7 and older, both healthy individuals and those with known or suspected cardiovascular disease. Participants must be able to lie still in an MRI scanner, follow instructions, provide informed consent (or have a guardian do so), and commit to the study procedures. Those previously exposed to gadolinium-based contrast agents or needing heart MRIs may also be of particular interest.
What is being tested?
The trial aims to develop new MRI methods for imaging the heart and other organs, describe cardiovascular diseases using these methods, examine the link between cardiovascular disease and risk factors affecting other organs, and detect any long-term brain deposits of gadolinium from previous MRIs. It involves up to 2-hour scans with potential monitoring of vital signs.
What are the potential side effects?
MRI is generally safe but can cause discomfort due to loud noises during scanning or claustrophobia inside the tube-like scanner. The contrast agent used may lead to allergic reactions in rare cases; however, participants will be screened for safety regarding this aspect.
