Check 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. It specifically includes people who also had high pressure in the lungs around the time of surgery, and may help doctors understand recovery and follow-up care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had mitral valve surgery at Assiut University Heart Hospital between March 2019 and March 2022
- At that time, you also had high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension)
- You did not have mitral valve surgery with normal lung pressure
- Your surgery was focused on the mitral valve (no other valve surgeries except possibly aortic and/or tricuspid)
- You did not need additional procedures for other heart problems during the same surgery (like CABG for blocked heart arteries)

This study looks at how well the right side of the heart works in people with chronic heart failure. It may help doctors understand why some people develop right heart problems and find better ways to treat them.
This study looks at how heart devices (pacemakers, ICDs, or CRT devices) affect the right side of the heart. Participants will have imaging tests before and after the device is placed to see how the heart functions.
This study is testing if a special heart monitor can help patients who need mitral valve repair surgery. If you are scheduled for this surgery, the monitor will be placed during your procedure to track your heart function and recovery.
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 study looks at heart rhythm problems in people having mitral valve surgery to fix a leaky valve. It may help doctors better understand who is at risk for dangerous rhythms.
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.
