3D ultrasound heart muscle wave measurements
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses 3D ultrasound to measure mechanical waves in the heart muscle of people with different severities of mitral regurgitation (a leaky heart valve). It aims to better understand how the heart adapts to the leak, which could help guide treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have mitral regurgitation (a leaky mitral valve in the heart).
- Your leak is moderate to severe as shown on an ultrasound.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You do not have permanent atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat).
- You have not had any previous heart surgery.
- You do not have significant coronary artery disease or other severe valve disease.

This study compares a new 4D MRI technique with standard 2D MRI and ultrasound to measure mitral regurgitation (a leaky heart valve). It aims to see which method best tracks changes in the heart's size and function over 6 months.
This study looks at how findings on a standard heart ultrasound (transthoracic echocardiography) can predict outcomes for adults with mitral valve leakage caused by valve prolapse. It may help doctors better understand which ultrasound features matter most, using past and future medical records.
This study tests a new way to measure leakage in the mitral valve (a valve in your heart) using advanced 3D ultrasound. If you have moderate or severe mitral valve leakage, this research may help doctors better understand and treat the condition.
This study looks at how well CT scans and 3D echo (ultrasound) measure the mitral valve ring before surgery for severe mitral valve leakage. It may help doctors better plan valve repair.
This study uses 3D ultrasound images to better understand heart valve shape and function in people with a leaky mitral valve who are scheduled for valve repair surgery. The goal is to improve how doctors plan and perform the surgery.
This study uses heart imaging to better understand different types of mitral valve leak (mitral regurgitation) and how it relates to heart pumping function. Results may help doctors match people to the most appropriate care based on scan “patterns.”
