Choosing treatment for mitral valve prolapse
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how to involve you in decisions about treating mitral valve prolapse, a condition where a heart valve doesn't close tightly. It aims to find the best way to help you and your doctor choose the right treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 21 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with mitral valve regurgitation caused by a leaky valve (degenerative mitral valve regurgitation).
- You speak English.
- You can make your own medical decisions.
- You have not had any previous surgery on your mitral valve.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 long a new mitral valve treatment/device can stay working in people with moderate-to-severe or severe mitral valve leak. It may help avoid or delay surgery for people considered higher risk for mitral valve repair.
This trial focuses on people with severe mitral valve narrowing or leaking who still have symptoms even after the best usual medications. It may help find better care and measure health outcomes when surgery is judged too risky or not suitable.
This trial compares doing mitral valve repair early versus closely monitoring without surgery in people who have severe leakage but no symptoms. It aims to see whether early repair helps prevent future heart problems.
This study is a registry (a way to track real-world outcomes) for people with mitral valve disease who receive a mitral valve procedure. It helps doctors understand how well these procedures work and what complications happen in patients like you.
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.
