What this trial studies

This observational study aims to explore the role of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in understanding cardiovascular diseases. It will assess how CMR compares to other diagnostic methods, its impact on clinical management decisions, and its correlation with long-term patient outcomes. The study will enroll up to 100,000 patients presenting with known or suspected cardiovascular conditions at the Houston Methodist DeBakey CMR Laboratory over a 30-year period. Data will be collected through patient interviews, electronic health records, and annual follow-ups.
