MRI scan comparison for certain leaking or narrowed heart valves
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies how well different MRI images can assess heart valve problems—like leaking (regurgitation) or narrowing (stenosis). It may help doctors get clearer information, especially in people who may not respond well to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 90 years old
- Your doctor suspects moderate or severe valve disease, such as MR (leaking), AR (aortic regurgitation), or AS (aortic stenosis)
- If you have a CRT device, you may be considered a “non-responder,” and your CRT device must be MRI-compatible
- You are able to safely have a heart MRI (CMR) without medical reasons it’s unsafe for you
- You do not have serious claustrophobia (a strong fear of enclosed spaces) that would stop you from completing the MRI

This study uses special MRI scans to look at how valvular heart disease (like leaky or narrowed aortic valves) affects men and women differently. It aims to find unique biological patterns that could lead to better treatments.
This trial tests whether remote monitoring with regular MRI scans can help manage aortic stenosis (a narrowed heart valve) in patients who don't have symptoms yet. The goal is to catch changes early and potentially delay or avoid the need for surgery.
This study uses MRI (a type of scan) in people who are scheduled for a catheter-based aortic valve replacement through the groin. It aims to see how well MRI can work for these patients and potentially improve care planning around the procedure.
This trial uses a special MRI and blood tests to see how heart muscle is affected after aortic or mitral valve surgery. It may help doctors better understand and monitor heart recovery.
This study uses a special type of MRI, called 4D flow MRI, to better understand how severe aortic stenosis (a narrowed heart valve) affects heart function. It may help doctors learn more about different types of this condition and improve future treatment.
This study tests whether a new 4D MRI technique can measure mitral regurgitation (a leaky heart valve) more accurately than standard methods. It may help doctors better decide on treatment by tracking heart changes over 6 months.
