  • "This study aims to determine the etiology of cardiovascular disease in a diverse patient population by utilizing various cardiovascular imaging modalities, with a focus on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and to develop risk stratification models by applying advanced cardiovascular imaging markers."
  • "During the last two decades, advanced cardiovascular imaging modalities such as cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging became trusted tools in the risk stratification of patients with ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathies."
  • "Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is the gold standard for quantifying chamber size and function."

About this study

In plain language

This study uses different heart scans, mainly heart MRI, to learn what causes heart disease and help predict future health risks. It is for adults sent for a heart MRI in the Montefiore Health System, with a focus on studying people from different racial and ethnic groups in the Bronx.

Determining the etiology of cardiomyopathy is of high clinical importance for optimal treatment strategy and prediction of prognosis. There is increased risk for cardiovascular disease and higher propensity for cardiovascular related mortality among Black and non-Hispanic White patients. Recently, advanced cardiac imaging has become a vital tool in diagnosis and risk stratification of cardiovascular disease. Very limited data is available on the prevalence and characteristics of different cardiovascular diseases in Hispanic and African American minority groups, therefore, studying different racial and ethnic minority groups in the Bronx population is an exceptionally valuable source to determine the prevalence of cardiomyopathies among minority groups along with study survival in this population. This study aims to determine the etiology of cardiovascular disease in a diverse patient population by utilizing various cardiovascular imaging modalities, with a focus on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and to develop risk stratification models by applying advanced cardiovascular imaging markers.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.

Eligibility

Who can join

  • You are 18 years or older.
  • You have been sent for a heart MRI in the Montefiore Health System. An MRI uses magnets to take pictures of your heart.
