Mitral valve prolapse, leaking, and heart rhythm risk
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at people with mitral valve prolapse and moderate-to-severe mitral regurgitation to see if they are at risk for abnormal heart rhythms. It may help doctors better understand who needs closer monitoring or treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have been diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse (a condition where the valve between the upper and lower chambers of the heart doesn't close properly).
- You must have moderate or more severe mitral regurgitation (leaking of the mitral valve).
- You cannot have had previous mitral valve surgery.
- You cannot have mitral valve prolapse caused by an infection of the heart valve (infective endocarditis).
- You cannot have significant narrowing or leaking of other heart valves (aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation, or mitral stenosis) or congenital heart disease, and you must have good-quality imaging of your heart.

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 people with mitral valve prolapse who also have rhythm problems like extra beats or fast heart rhythms. The goal is to better understand risk and improve care.
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 looks at people with mitral valve prolapse (a common heart valve condition) to see if doctors can predict who might have scar tissue in their heart muscle. If you have this condition, joining could help improve understanding of your heart health.
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 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.
