Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: This observational study includes adult patients with ischemic heart disease who underwent clinically indicated cardiac magnetic resonance imaging as part of routine clinical care at participating centers. The study population represents a real-world cohort with a broad spectrum of ischemic heart disease, including myocardial infarction, and is characterized by comprehensive CMR imaging data, detailed clinical information, and long-term follow-up for cardiovascular outcomes.

Who may be able to join

  • Adults (≥18 years of age).
  • Patients with ischemic heart disease, including prior or recent myocardial infarction, who underwent clinically indicated cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging.
  • Availability of analyzable CMR images, including but not limited to cine imaging, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), and parametric mapping sequences (T1 and/or T2 mapping), as applicable.
  • Availability of baseline clinical data and longitudinal follow-up information.

Who cannot join

  • Poor image quality or incomplete CMR data precluding quantitative analysis.
  • Presence of other severe comorbid conditions expected to significantly affect survival or clinical outcomes.
  • Missing key clinical outcome data during follow-up.

About this study

Official title: Prognostic Value of Multiparametric Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance in Patients With Ischemic Heart Disease: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study

Ischemic heart disease (IHD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Accurate risk stratification is essential for guiding clinical management and improving long-term outcomes in patients with ischemic myocardial injury.

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging provides comprehensive assessment of myocardial structure, function, and tissue characteristics, enabling detailed evaluation of ischemic injury and its consequences.

This multicenter, retrospective observational study aims to investigate the prognostic value of multiparametric CMR-derived imaging markers in patients with ischemic heart disease who underwent clinically indicated CMR examinations. Imaging parameters of interest include late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), infarct size, microvascular obstruction (MVO), left ventricular and left atrial strain, and native T1 and T2 mapping values.

Long-term clinical outcomes will be obtained from existing medical records. The primary outcome is major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), and secondary outcome is cardiovascular death. This study seeks to clarify the role of CMR in long-term risk stratification of patients with ischemic heart disease.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, retrospective observational cohort study based on existing clinical and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging data. Patients with ischemic heart disease who underwent clinically indicated CMR examinations will be included. Data are derived from multiple centers and span an extended time period, reflecting real-world clinical practice.

CMR examinations were performed as part of routine clinical care. Imaging parameters to be analyzed include late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) for assessment of myocardial scar and ischemic injury, infarct size, presence of microvascular obstruction (MVO), left ventricular and left atrial strain parameters, and native T1 and T2 mapping values when available. Image analysis will be conducted using standardized post-processing methods.

Demographic characteristics, cardiovascular risk factors, treatment strategies, and follow-up data will be collected retrospectively from institutional databases and medical records. The primary outcome of interest is major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, hospitalization for heart failure, and unplanned coronary revascularization. The secondary outcome is cardiovascular death.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the association between multiparametric CMR-derived imaging markers and long-term clinical outcomes in patients with ischemic heart disease. Secondary objectives include exploring the incremental prognostic value of CMR parameters beyond conventional clinical risk factors and assessing their role in improving individualized risk stratification.

Advanced image analysis techniques, including radiomics and machine learning-based methods, may be applied to CMR images to explore imaging-derived features associated with long-term clinical outcomes.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Major Adverse Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Events

    Major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, hospitalization for heart failure, and unplanned coronary revascularization. Events are identified through longitudinal clinical follow-up and review of medical records.

    Measured: From the date of index clinically indicated cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to the date of first occurrence of a MACCE event, death, or last available clinical follow-up, whichever came first, assessed up to 10 years.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Cardiovascular Death

    Death resulting from cardiovascular causes, including myocardial infarction, heart failure, fatal arrhythmia, or sudden cardiac death, as determined by clinical records and follow-up data.

    Measured: From the date of index clinically indicated cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to the date of cardiovascular death or last available clinical follow-up, whichever came first, assessed up to 10 years.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Major Adverse Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Events (time frame: From the date of index clinically indicated cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to the date of first occurrence of a MACCE event, death, or last available clinical follow-up, whichever came first, assessed up to 10 years.). 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.

How often is this information updated?
