Testing New MRI Methods for People with Heart Disease

(IRB#: IRB_00185568)

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a tool used to take an image of the inside of the body. There are previous and newly developed heart MRI methods to assess heart diseases. This study wants to better understand the use of these MRI methods to help people with health issues such as heart disease. People in the study will have an MRI which includes lying down inside of a cylinder and laying still for a certain amount of time. Being in the study requires attending at least one MRI appointment that will last up to 2.5 hours.
