Accelerated Contrast-Enhanced High Resolution Whole Heart Cardiac MRI

Stopped early

Conditions studied: Cardiac Disease

In brief

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death in the United States. Cardiac MRI is a non-invasive non-ionizing technique for a comprehensive cardiac exam, which can be used in the diagnosis of CAD. In this work, the investigators will develop and validate techniques for accelerated cardiac MRI, offering better volumetric coverage of the heart, improved contrast, and superior spatial and temporal resolutions.

You may qualify if…

• "Healthy" subjects 18 years and older
• Cardiovascular disease patients referred from the Department of Cardiology, who do not meet any of the exclusion criteria.

You may not qualify if…

• Exclusion criteria include those associated with the use of MR as the imaging modality. Patients with pacemakers, implanted cardioverter-defibrillators, intracerebral clips or other implants that are not MR incompatible, atrial flutter or frequent atrial or ventricular ectopic activity, weight over 250 pounds, or significant claustrophobia will be excluded.
• Subjects should not have the following which may be hazardous to their health or interfere with MRI examinations: cardiac pacemaker; implanted cardiac defibrillator; carotid artery vascular clamp; intravascular stents, filters, or coils; aortic clip; internal pacing wires; vascular access port and/or catheter; Swan-Ganz catheter; shunt (spinal or intraventricular); aneurysm clip(s); neurostimulator; electrodes (on body, head, or brain);heart valve prosthesis; any type of prosthesis (eye, penile, etc.); artificial limb or joint replacement; bone growth/fusion stimulator; bone/joint pin, screw, nail, wire, plate; metal rods in bones; Harrington rods (spine); metal or wire mesh implants; wire sutures or surgical staples; insulin pump or infusion device; any metal fragments (i.e. metal shop); any implant held in place by a magnet; cochlear, otologic, or ear implant.
