Multimodal mAgnetic Resonance imaGIng in Cardiovascular Disease

China2,000 participantsStarted 2026-01-01

Plain-language summary

This single-center, prospective, observational cohort study aims to evaluate the clinical application value of multi-modal cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD). While traditional imaging methods have limitations in fully evaluating myocardial tissue characteristics, multi-modal CMR offers a comprehensive, non-invasive "one-stop" assessment. It can simultaneously evaluate heart structure, function, tissue features (such as fibrosis and edema), and hemodynamics. The study plans to enroll patients with suspected or confirmed CVD. Participants will undergo a comprehensive multi-modal CMR scan (including Cine, T1/T2 mapping, Late Gadolinium Enhancement, and 4D flow sequences) as part of their evaluation. By tracking clinical outcomes, the study seeks to establish a standardized imaging assessment system to improve the early detection, accurate diagnosis, risk stratification, and prognostic prediction for various types of cardiovascular diseases.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.

Inclusion Criteria: * Aged 18 years and older, with no gender restrictions. Clinically suspected or confirmed cardiovascular disease (including but not limited to ischemic heart disease, non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, valvular disease, etc.), requiring a cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) examination to determine the etiology or evaluate myocardial tissue characteristics. No contraindications to magnetic resonance examination, and able to cooperate with breath-holding instructions. Voluntarily participate in this study and sign a written informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: * Absolute contraindications: Implantation of non-MRI compatible metallic foreign bodies (e.g., old pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators \[ICD\], aneurysm clips, etc.). Relative contraindications: Severe claustrophobia, unable to complete the examination despite communication. Severe renal insufficiency. Special populations: Pregnant or lactating women. Presence of severe arrhythmias (e.g., persistent atrial fibrillation) leading to severely impaired magnetic resonance signal acquisition, rendering the image quality inadequate for diagnosis. Poor expected compliance: Unable to complete follow-up, or deemed unsuitable for enrollment by the investigator for other reasons.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
