About this study
The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate newer methods of performing cardiovascular MRI (CMR) that will provide new kinds of information related to the interplay between the cardiac and the respiratory cycles, such as the interaction between the left ventricle and the right ventricle during respiration . The primary statistical objective is to provide preliminary indications of the relative utility of the investigational imaging software in terms of image quality and suitability for routine clinical use. Image quality will be expressed in terms of signal-to-noise ratios (SNR), contrast-to-noise ratios (CNR) and subjective Likert-type qualitative assessments independently provided by each of multiple blinded readers for each image. Suitability for routine use will be assessed in terms of imaging time and a binary indicator of whether, in the opinion of the investigator, adverse procedural complications (not expected) were encountered during a given imaging session.

The record says: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Image Quality measured by resolution (time frame: 10 Minutes). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
