ClinConnect Summary

In medical research, there is a continuous need to develop new imaging techniques such as cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. This will allow us to visualize and study the function and structure of the heart in greater detail so as to improve the diagnosis and treatment of patients with various cardiac conditions. The aim of the study is to optimise new CMR sequences, allowing the development of imaging protocols in future research studies.

This study will hence recruit 800 subjects for each of the following sub-studies:

1. Sub-study 1: Normal CMR protocols for assessment of ...
