Using Cardiac AngioMR to Diagnose Heart and Vascular Issues in Adults with Turner Syndrome
Official title: Role of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Angiography (1.5-T) in the Diagnosis of Cardiac and Thoraco-abdominal Vascular Tree Anomalies in Adult Patients with Turner Syndrome
Run by Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Modena · NCT06178887 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a special heart imaging technique called Cardiac AngioMR to see how well it can help diagnose heart and blood vessel problems in adults with Turner Syndrome.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults over 18 years old with a confirmed diagnosis of Turner Syndrome who have undergone Cardiac AngioMR imaging.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who do not have Turner Syndrome or are under 18 years old will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study focuses on the use of noninvasive cardiac imaging, specifically Cardiac AngioMR, to diagnose and monitor cardiovascular anomalies in adult patients diagnosed with Turner Syndrome. Given the high prevalence of cardiovascular disease in this population, the study aims to evaluate not only thoracic findings but also the distal abdominal aorta and iliac arteries, which have been under-researched. The methodology involves imaging patients who meet specific inclusion criteria, including confirmed Turner Syndrome diagnosis and age over 18, who have undergone AngioMR at 1.5 T. The goal is to enhance understanding and management of cardiovascular risks in these patients.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved diagnostic capabilities and better management of cardiovascular health in adults with Turner Syndrome.
How similar studies have gone: While there is limited data on the specific use of Cardiac AngioMR for this purpose, the study addresses a significant gap in existing research regarding cardiovascular assessment in Turner Syndrome, suggesting a novel approach.
