Multimodal heart and liver imaging in adults from the Constances cohort

Multimodal Cardiovascular and Hepatic Population Imaging

Institut National de la Santé Et de la Recherche Médicale, France · NCT06906042

This project uses advanced heart and liver imaging to see if scans can reveal early signs of disease in adults from the Constances population cohort.

What this trial studies

The project will create a large linked collection of cardiac and hepatic images and associated health data from Constances cohort participants using MRI, echocardiography and standardized paramedical and medical examinations. Participants are adults without known cardiovascular or liver disease who undergo noninvasive imaging and clinical data collection. The resulting multimodal dataset will be analyzed to distinguish normal aging from early disease and to explore how age, sex, genetics and environment relate to residual individual risk. The effort is observational and centralized at Hôpital Pitié‑Salpêtrière with images linked to existing cohort data for long‑term research.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults (age ≥ 20) who are enrolled in the Constances cohort, have no known cardiovascular or hepatic disease, and can safely undergo MRI.

Not a fit: People with symptomatic heart or liver disease, significant renal impairment (GFR < 60 mL/min/1.73m2), pregnancy, or MRI contraindications are unlikely to gain benefit from this imaging-focused project.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the imaging collection could help clinicians spot early heart and liver changes and improve personalized risk predictions.

How similar studies have performed: Large population imaging initiatives (for example cardiac MRI work in population biobanks) have successfully identified subclinical markers, supporting the value of a multimodal imaging approach.
