What this Trial Is About
There are currently no good ways of measuring levels of scarring in the hearts of patients with advanced kidney disease and patients on dialysis, although recent research has shown a new cardiac MRI technique, called native T1 mapping, may provide a solution to this. To assess the accuracy of this novel technique in dialysis patients, it is essential to undertake a study which compares native T1 mapping to actual levels of scarring in the hearts of patients on dialysis.
