Summary

This study aims to view variations in MRI measurements of the heart and the brain in people with anxiety versus healthy volunteers. The MRI measurements used will be Oxygenation-Sensitive Cardiac MRI (OS-CMR), a recent type of MRI which is safe, fast, and non-invasive.

Conditions

  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder
  • Oxygenation Sensitive CMR

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Cardiac MRI

The 4-minute breathing maneuver comprised of 2 minutes of normal breathing and 1-min hyperventilation (rate of 30 breaths per minute) followed by a maximal breath-hold. This technique is used in Oxygenation Sensitive CMR, a type of MRI, and will induce a vasoactive response visible in cardiac and cerebral MRI images
