U.S., Sept. 18 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07178145) titled 'Epicardial Adipose Tissue Composition and Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction' on July 23.
Brief Summary: This study seeks to develop improved cardiac MRI (CMR) methods to quantify epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) composition and to demonstrate the advantages of EAT composition imaging (a) in advancing the understanding of the relationship between EAT and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and (b) for understanding mechanisms of and guiding medical therapy in HFpEF. The investigators recently developed the first method for quantifying EAT FAC in human subjects, utilizing a rate-6 accelerated radial 2D ...
