Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to determine the causes of various cardiomyopathies in a diverse patient population, particularly focusing on Hispanic and African American individuals in the Bronx. By utilizing advanced cardiovascular imaging modalities, including cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging, the study seeks to gather data on the prevalence and characteristics of cardiovascular diseases in these minority groups. The research will help in understanding the etiology of cardiovascular diseases and improve risk stratification for optimal treatment strategies.
