Mitral valve prolapse, valve leakage, and heart rhythm risk
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at a specific heart valve condition called mitral valve prolapse with moderate to severe leakage. It aims to understand how certain changes in the valve might affect your risk of developing an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse (a heart valve that doesn't close tightly).
- You have moderate or more severe mitral regurgitation (blood leaking backward through the valve).
- You have not had any previous surgery on your mitral valve.
- Your mitral valve prolapse is not caused by a heart valve infection.

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 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.
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.
