Efficacy of Non Contrast DWI(Diffusion Weighted Imaging) Imaging Compared to DMR-DE
- Conditions
- Heart Attack
- Interventions
- Procedure: Diffusion Weighted Imaging with MRI scans
- Registration Number
- NCT01820000
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Michigan
- Brief Summary
Use of MRI and DWI to diagnose cardiac scarring after heart attack.
- Detailed Description
To discover new information about MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) called DWI (diffusion weighted imaging) and its ability to diagnose cardiac scarring.
CMR-DE (cardiac MR with delayed contrast enhancement) evaluates if there has been scarring in the heart muscle following a heart attack.
Subjects are injected with a contrast medication that makes the scarring visible if present. To prove the efficacy of DWI (diffusion weighted imaging) to provide the same images that CMR-DE (cardiac magnetic resonance with delayed contrast enhancement) provides.

Group Intervention Description Diffusion Weighted Imaging with MRI scans Diffusion Weighted Imaging with MRI scans Subjects will undergo a MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan where DWI (diffusion weighted imaging) will be performed. Subjects will not receive contrast during this sequence, but will receive contrast as standard MRI protocol.
- Primary Outcome Measures
