(META-MORE): Metabolic Risk Factors and Myocardial Oxygenation Reserve
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to use MRI images using the OS-CMR technique to view the differences in the hearts of healthy volunteers and participants with a condition called Metabolic Syndrome. Our objectives for this project are to compare these two groups and to view how health risks, blood test results, and the time since a Metabolic diagnosis can affect heart health.

Detailed Description
Myocardial oxygenation changes during vasoactive breathing maneuvers, observed with oxygenation-sensitive cardiac MRI, will be identified and compared between individuals considered healthy and those fitting the criteria of the Metabolic Syndrome.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Patient Participant Participants with known Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) |
Diagnostic Test: Cardiac MRI
Participants will undergo an oxygenation-sensitive cardiac MRI and, during the scan, perform a vasoactive breathing maneuver composed of a period of paced hyperventilation followed by a voluntary maximal breath hold.

Healthy Volunteers NonS-moking participants with no known pre-existing conditions and who do not take any medications |
Diagnostic Test: Cardiac MRI
Participants will undergo an oxygenation-sensitive cardiac MRI and, during the scan, perform a vasoactive breathing maneuver composed of a period of paced hyperventilation followed by a voluntary maximal breath hold.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Global and segmental Myocardial oxygenation reserve (MORE) [Baseline]
A t-test will be used to assess the difference in global and segmental MORE, at rest, during hyperventilation, and throughout breath hold, between healthy and volunteers and MetS patients.
- Relation between Breathing maneuver induced MORE and known MetS risk factors. [Baseline]
A linear regression will assess the relation between Breathing maneuver induced MORE and known MetS risk factors, biomarkers, and time since diagnosis.
