Mild to moderate aortic valve leak: what predicts progression?
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at people with a leaky heart valve (aortic regurgitation) to see how it changes over time. The goal is to understand who might get worse and what factors affect that, so treatment can be better planned.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had an ultrasound of your heart (echocardiogram) between January 2003 and March 2025.
- Your heart's aortic valve had at least a small leak (aortic regurgitation).
- You had at least two heart ultrasounds, with the second one after the first.
- You are 18 years old or older.

This study is testing a new, less invasive heart valve system (TaurusTrio) for people with severe aortic regurgitation (a leaky aortic valve) who cannot have open-heart surgery. It aims to see if the valve is safe and works well to improve symptoms.
This trial tests whether a 3D computer simulation can help guide a less invasive procedure (TAVR) to replace a leaky aortic valve. It may be an option for people with severe aortic regurgitation who are at least 65 years old.
This study follows people with moderate aortic valve disease to learn how their condition changes. It does not test a new treatment but will help doctors better understand the disease.
This study is following people with heart valve disease (leaky or narrowed valves) to understand how the disease changes over time and what problems it may cause. It does not test a new treatment, but helps doctors learn more about valve disease progression.
This study looks at blood and/or body signals (called biomarkers) to understand why aortic valve narrowing may worsen and what outcomes people have. You may be able to help researchers by undergoing regular heart care plus additional testing like MRI or CT if you qualify.
This study is looking at people with aortic valve disease to understand what factors affect their risk and to build a model that predicts how the disease will progress. Researchers hope this will help doctors better care for patients in the future.
