Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Evaluate Heart Vessel Function After Angioplasty or Stent Placement Procedures

Completed

Conditions studied: Myocardial Infarction, Angina, Unstable, Cardiomyopathy, Hypertrophic

In brief

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is caused by a narrowing of the blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen to the heart. Balloon angioplasty and stent placement are two treatment options for people with reduced heart function caused by CAD. This study will use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedures to evaluate heart function over time in people with CAD who have undergone a balloon angioplasty or stent placement procedure.

You may qualify if…

• Undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography
• Undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention

You may not qualify if…

• Clinically unstable (i.e., demonstrates unstable cardiac rhythm or hemodynamics, supported on vasopressors or an intra-aortic balloon pump, and/or is actively ischemic) at the time of the MRI procedure
