Conditions studied: Metabolic Syndrome

In brief

The purpose of this study is to use MRI images using the OS-CMR technique to view the differences in the hearts of healthy volunteers and participants with a condition called Metabolic Syndrome. The objectives of this project are to compare these two groups and to view how health risks, blood test results, and the time since a Metabolic diagnosis can affect heart health.
