Clinical Trial: Imaging Techniques for Identifying Factors of Sudden Cardiac Death Risk
Study Status: Recruiting
Recruit Status: Recruiting
Study Type: Observational
Official Title: Functional Energetics and Imaging for Phenotypic Characterization of Patients at Risk for Sudden Cardiac Death
Brief Summary: Sudden cardiac death is a tragic event that strikes all age groups and is unfortunately increasing in prevalence. Because it is difficult to predict those at highest risk, this study is designed to test the hypothesis that new imaging techniques (magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] and computed tomography [CT]) are useful for identifying factors which put people at high risk for sudden death.
