Symptoms and severity of a leaky mitral valve study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how symptoms relate to the severity of mitral regurgitation, a leaky heart valve. Researchers want to better understand the link between what you feel and the actual degree of the leak.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have a primary (not secondary) leaky mitral valve.
- Your heart's pumping strength (LVEF) is 50% or above.
- You are scheduled for a cardiac catheterization.
- You can walk on a treadmill.

This study looks at people with moderate or severe mitral regurgitation (a leaky heart valve) to better understand their risks and create models to guide treatment. It may help your doctor decide on the best care plan for you.
This trial tests whether a medication called phenylephrine helps doctors measure how severe mitral regurgitation (mitral valve leak) is. If you’re already scheduled for a special ultrasound from the esophagus, this study may help improve how your valve leak is assessed.
This study looks at people who have coronary heart disease and a leaky mitral valve caused by a heart attack or reduced blood flow to the heart. The goal is to learn more about this condition and find better ways to treat it.
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.”
This study collects and compares real-world results to help doctors choose the best treatment for mitral valve “leakiness.” If you have clinically significant mitral insufficiency and have already had a specific heart procedure screening, your echocardiogram results may be used to understand outcomes over at least a month.
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.
