Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To demonstrate that pathological changes in the myocardial microvasculature can be detected and measured by cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging following the application of Feraheme and special T2-mapping sequences;Secondary Objective: To demonstrate that this novel approach is superior to the established T1-mapping technique;Primary end point(s): To demonstrate that the intravascular volume in the myocardium can be measured non-invasively by cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging following the application of Feraheme and special T2-mapping sequences;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12h to 24h after infusion of Feraheme | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): To demonstrate that this novel approach based on T2-mapping following infusion of Feraheme is superior to T1-mapping following infusion of Magnevist;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12h to 24h after infusion of Feraheme | — |
