This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is comparing two ways of looking at your heart during a stress test using magnetic resonance imaging (an MRI-like machine). The standard way gives doctors a visual picture of blood flow. The new way does the same thing but also measures the exact amount of blood flowing through your heart muscle. Researchers want to see if this more precise measurement can better predict which patients are at risk for future heart problems.
Currently, doctors use visual inspection to evaluate heart blood flow, but this method can sometimes miss problems or be hard to interpret. The new treatment may provide exact numbers that help doctors spot issues earlier and decide whether you need more aggressive treatment or additional testing.

You will visit the hospital or clinic for a heart scan where you receive an injection of contrast dye and medication to stress your heart (similar to a regular stress test), then lie in an MRI machine while your heart is scanned. A small blood sample will also be taken. After your baseline visit, you'll be contacted by phone or email at 3 months, 1 year, and 2 years to check on your health, any heart events, and medications you're taking. The study lasts 2 years total.
