Mitral regurgitation risk assessment study

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.

This study tests a new way to plan a less-invasive mitral valve repair procedure. It uses images from your echocardiogram (a heart ultrasound) to help doctors decide if you're a good candidate for a clip that fixes the leaking valve. It only includes people with significant mitral valve leakage who don't have other major heart valve problems.

This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure (transcatheter edge-to-edge repair) to fix a leaky mitral valve caused by an enlarged atrium, not by heart muscle damage. It might be an option if your mitral regurgitation is related to atrial issues and your heart's pumping strength is normal.

This study aims to develop a risk model for tricuspid regurgitation, a condition where the heart valve doesn't close properly. It may help doctors better understand and treat this condition.

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.
