Loop recorder for mitral valve heart condition
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a small heart monitor (loop recorder) can help people with a specific mitral valve condition called mitral annular disjunction. It's for patients who have scar tissue in their heart muscle shown on an MRI.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of mitral annular disjunction on an echocardiogram
- An MRI shows late gadolinium enhancement (a sign of scarring) in your heart muscle
- You are able to give informed consent and are not under guardianship
- You do not have an active infection, cancer, or a prior implanted heart device (ICD or loop recorder)

This trial tests whether using an MRI to help place a defibrillator (a device that corrects dangerous heart rhythms) works better than the usual method. It may help people with weak heart pumping after a heart attack.
This study tests a program that uses remote monitoring to catch irregular heart rhythms early in people with heart failure who experience palpitations. The goal is to improve care and prevent complications by detecting problems sooner.
This study looks for hidden irregular heartbeats (atrial fibrillation) in people who have a leaky mitral valve but do not have symptoms yet. Researchers will monitor your heart rhythm with a small device for a period to detect any silent episodes, which could guide treatment and reduce stroke risk.
This trial studies people who had a heart valve procedure called TAVI and later had a heart rhythm problem. You will get a tiny heart monitor placed under your skin to track your heart rhythm over time and help doctors understand how common these problems are.
This trial tests a device placed during open heart surgery that tightens the leaking mitral valve to reduce blood flowing backward. It may help people whose valve leak is caused by heart muscle weakness and who are already having another heart surgery.
This trial tests a new device that is placed using a thin tube through a vein in the leg to repair a leaky mitral valve in people with heart failure. The goal is to see if it can reduce symptoms and improve quality of life beyond what usual medications can do.
