AI summary: who the study is looking for
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adults who are healthy volunteers and for adults who need a heart MRI exam for medical reasons.
- Age
- Older than 18 years
- Sex
- All sexes can join
- Disease stage
- Patients need a heart MRI (CMR) exam that is clinically indicated. Healthy volunteers need no known significant heart or lung condition.
- Earlier treatment
- Patients cannot have taken vasoactive medication (for example nitro) in the 12 hours before the exam.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Devices that are not safe in an MRI, such as pacemakers or defibrillators
- Implanted material or foreign bodies in the body
- Caffeinated drinks or foods, including cocoa and chocolate, in the 12 hours before the exam
- Regular nicotine use in the last 6 months (for healthy volunteers and patients alike)
- Vasoactive medication, for example nitro, in the 12 hours before the exam (patients)
