Heart scarring, also known as fibrosis, plays a major role in a lot of heart muscle
 abnormalities. These abnormalities of the heart muscle can lead to major issues such as
 symptoms of heart failure, dangerous heart rhythm disturbances and even death. However, a lot
 of these conditions are still not fully understood and treatment options are limited. We here
 aim to use a new radioactive dye called 68Ga-FAPI to identify patterns and the activity of
 heart muscle scarring. This radioactive dye is being used in humans particularly in
 identifying and monitoring cancers and has shown promise in identifying scarring in the heart
 as well. This will help us not only understand the underlying disease process and risk
 stratify these patients but also potentially help us develop new targeted therapies that can
 affect heart muscle scarring. Participants will undergo a baseline MRI scan using this new
 dye and a plain MRI scan will repeated 12-18 months after to see if there are any changes in
 the process.
