New 3D Ultrasound Method for Measuring Heart Valve Leakage
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have at least moderate mitral regurgitation (leakage through the mitral valve in your heart)
- Your heart produces good-quality images on transesophageal echocardiography (a special ultrasound done through the throat)
- You have not had prior surgery or a catheter-based procedure to repair or replace your mitral valve
- You can safely undergo transesophageal echocardiography (throat ultrasound)
- You can safely undergo cardiac MRI (a magnetic imaging scan of your heart)

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 compares a new 4D MRI technique with standard 2D MRI and ultrasound to measure mitral regurgitation (a leaky heart valve). It aims to see which method best tracks changes in the heart's size and function over 6 months.
This study looks at how well CT scans and 3D echo (ultrasound) measure the mitral valve ring before surgery for severe mitral valve leakage. It may help doctors better plan valve repair.
This study uses 3D ultrasound images to better understand heart valve shape and function in people with a leaky mitral valve who are scheduled for valve repair surgery. The goal is to improve how doctors plan and perform the 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.
This study looks at how long a new mitral valve treatment/device can stay working in people with moderate-to-severe or severe mitral valve leak. It may help avoid or delay surgery for people considered higher risk for mitral valve repair.
