Right heart function after mitral valve surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how well the right side of your heart works after mitral valve surgery, especially if you had high blood pressure in your lungs. The results may help doctors understand recovery and improve care for patients like you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had surgery to repair or replace your mitral valve.
- You had high blood pressure in your lungs (pulmonary hypertension) at the time of your surgery.
- You did not have any other heart valves fixed during the same surgery.
- You did not have another heart procedure (like a bypass) during the same surgery.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how your heart and lungs work together during exercise. It involves an exercise test with an ultrasound of your heart (echocardiogram) to measure blood flow. This may help doctors better understand and diagnose conditions like pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs).
This study tests a new way to measure how well the right side of the heart pumps blood while you are lying in different positions after heart surgery. It may help doctors assess your recovery more easily.
This study looks at how the right side of the heart handles the stress of having a lung lobe removed. It compares different surgery types (VATS, robotic, or open) and focuses on people with moderate to high heart and lung risk factors.
This study tracks left atrial pressure (the pressure in the upper left chamber of the heart) before and after mitral valve repair surgery. It aims to see if this monitoring helps improve recovery and long-term outcomes.
This study at Mayo Clinic uses MRI and other tests to see how the heart's main pumping chamber changes shape after robot-assisted mitral valve repair surgery for severe mitral regurgitation. It may help doctors better understand how patients recover.
This trial studies how well the heart's main pumping chamber (left ventricle) recovers after surgery to fix a leaky aortic valve. It is for people who also have a leaky mitral valve and an enlarged left ventricle, and who are having their first planned valve surgery.
