Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most frequent neurodegenerative disease. Likewise, heart failure (HF) is one of the most common causes of mortality and morbidity in the world.

We have designed a study to assess the cardiac function and structure in patients with PD compared with a control group by means of cardiac magnetic resonance.
