Measuring mitral valve leak with advanced MRI
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a new 4D MRI technique can measure mitral regurgitation (a leaky heart valve) more accurately than standard methods. It may help doctors better decide on treatment by tracking heart changes over 6 months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with mild, moderate, or severe mitral regurgitation (a leaky mitral valve) based on an ultrasound.
- You are able to have both an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) and an MRI within 7 days of joining, and again after 6 months.
- You do not have other significant heart valve problems, like aortic regurgitation or stenosis, or a hole in the heart.
- You do not have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or other reason that makes MRI unsafe.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you have normal kidney function.

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 study uses 3D ultrasound to measure mechanical waves in the heart muscle of people with different severities of mitral regurgitation (a leaky heart valve). It aims to better understand how the heart adapts to the leak, which could help guide treatment decisions.
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 trial studies how well different MRI images can assess heart valve problems—like leaking (regurgitation) or narrowing (stenosis). It may help doctors get clearer information, especially in people who may not respond well to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).
This study tests a new way to measure leakage in the mitral valve (a valve in your heart) using advanced 3D ultrasound. If you have moderate or severe mitral valve leakage, this research may help doctors better understand and treat the condition.
This trial studies severe secondary mitral valve leaking and uses heart imaging to predict how well the heart and symptoms improve after a less-invasive valve procedure. It may help doctors better forecast who benefits most from this repair.
