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 with coronary heart disease who also have a leaky mitral valve caused by heart muscle damage. It aims to understand the condition better and may help improve treatment options.
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 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 compares two treatment approaches for people with heart failure and a leaky mitral valve (mitral regurgitation). It aims to find which strategy leads to better outcomes. You may be eligible if your heart function is reduced and you have symptoms despite standard treatments.
