Checking heart valve disease with a finger sensor
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a finger sensor to measure artery waves to assess heart valve problems like aortic regurgitation or stenosis. If you have one of these conditions or are a healthy volunteer, you may help improve noninvasive heart disease detection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You have been diagnosed with aortic regurgitation (leaky heart valve) or aortic stenosis (narrowed heart valve), or you have no history of heart disease
- You are willing to have a small sensor placed on your finger for a few minutes
- You have not had heart surgery or a heart procedure in the last 6 months
- You do not have hand problems like arthritis that make it hard to move your fingers
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is testing a new way to monitor blood flow and heart function during a valve replacement procedure. It may help doctors track how well the heart is pumping.
This trial tests a special skin test (impedance cardiography) that may detect heart muscle changes in people with aortic stenosis. It could help doctors decide when valve replacement is needed.
This study tests a new handheld device that uses gentle pulses to measure stiffness of your arteries, which can help predict heart disease risk. It is a quick, non-invasive test for people coming in for regular check-ups.
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 tests if a smartphone app can detect aortic valve stenosis (a heart valve condition) by recording heart sounds. If successful, it could offer a simple, non-invasive way to screen for this condition without a doctor's visit.
This study tests if a smartphone app can help doctors find a heart condition called aortic stenosis, where the heart's main valve becomes narrowed. If detected early, it may lead to better treatment and outcomes.
