Studying aortic valve leak progression with past heart ultrasound data
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at people with mild-to-moderate aortic valve leakage (aortic regurgitation) to see what factors might make it worse over time. If you have had at least two heart ultrasounds, the study will use your previous results (no new tests or visits needed).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You had an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) between 2003 and March 2025.
- That ultrasound showed at least a small amount of aortic valve leak (aortic regurgitation).
- You had at least one follow-up echocardiogram after the first one.

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 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 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 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 looks at how anesthesia, breathing machines, and imaging methods change the way doctors measure a leaky heart valve. It aims to make sure the severity of aortic regurgitation is accurately measured before surgery.
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.
