Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 18 years or older with suspected or confirmed cardiovascular disease who need a CMR as part of their evaluation and can undergo MRI.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients whose condition does not change after imaging or who do not require MRI-based assessment may see no direct benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a single-center, prospective observational registry enrolling about 2,000 adults with suspected or confirmed cardiovascular disease. Participants undergo a comprehensive multi-modal CMR that includes Cine imaging, T1/T2 mapping, late gadolinium enhancement, and 4D flow to evaluate anatomy, function, tissue characteristics, and hemodynamics. The study also explores sequence optimization and AI-based techniques, aiming to standardize protocols and build a large imaging database for better diagnosis and prognosis. Findings may inform how multi-modal CMR can improve clinical decision-making across ischemic and non-ischemic heart diseases. The project emphasizes non-contrast and AI-driven imaging options to potentially reduce risk and improve efficiency.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could improve diagnostic accuracy and help tailor treatments by providing a more complete, non-invasive heart assessment.
How similar studies have gone: Prior work has shown value in multi-modal CMR, but large-scale standardized data and AI-augmented approaches are still being established, making this study relatively novel.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Aged 18 years and older, with no gender restrictions. Clinically suspected or confirmed cardiovascular disease (including but not limited to ischemic heart disease, non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, valvular disease, etc.), requiring a cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) examination to determine the etiology or evaluate myocardial tissue characteristics. No contraindications to magnetic resonance examination, and able to cooperate with breath-holding instructions. Voluntarily participate in this study and sign a written informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: * Absolute contraindications: Implantation of non-MRI compatible metallic foreign bodies (e.g., old pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators \[ICD\], aneurysm clips, etc.). Relative contraindications: Severe claustrophobia, unable to complete the examination despite communication. Severe renal insufficiency. Special populations: Pregnant or lactating women. Presence of severe arrhythmias (e.g., persistent atrial fibrillation) leading to severely impaired magnetic resonance signal acquisition, rendering the image quality inadequate for diagnosis. Poor expected compliance: Unable to complete follow-up, or deemed unsuitable for enrollment by the investigator for other reasons.
