Researchers: New MRI System Could Aid Early Detection of Heart Health March 26, 2026 —The heart’s ability to use oxygen efficiently is a critical indicator of its health, but tests to measure this function have drawbacks that can limit their use. A new Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University study found that a new MRI system developed at Cedars-Sinai might overcome this challenge. The findings, published in Science Translational Medicine, could one day improve management of heart failure, in which the heart fails to pump enough blood to meet the body’s need for blood and oxygen. Poor use of oxygen by the heart is an early indicator of heart failure, which...
