HEART VALVE DISEASES

This is an early study to see if a new device called the DUO System is safe and works for people with a severely leaky tricuspid heart valve. Doctors will place the device using a catheter through a blood vessel, avoiding open-heart surgery. The study will follow 15 patients for …

This study tests a device called the Carillon Mitral Contour System in 300 people with heart failure and a leaky mitral valve. The device is placed in a vein near the heart to help the valve close better. The goal is to see if it improves symptoms, walking ability, and reduces ho…

This early study tests a new device called the TRiCares Topaz to replace a leaky tricuspid heart valve in 15 adults with severe regurgitation who are at high risk for surgery. The main goals are to check if the device is safe and works well right after the procedure. Researchers …

This study tests whether a portable electronic stethoscope, combined with artificial intelligence, can accurately detect valvular heart disease. About 125 people with and without the condition will use the device and also receive standard heart tests. Researchers will compare the…

This study tests an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that can screen for heart valve disease using standard chest CT scans that people already get for other reasons. The goal is to catch moderate-to-severe valve problems earlier without extra tests or radiation. Researchers will…

This study will train non-expert staff at GP clinics to perform quick heart ultrasounds on people 65 and older during routine check-ups. The goal is to find heart valve disease and heart failure early, especially in diverse communities where these conditions are often missed. Res…

This study is a large registry that will follow 10,000 people who have had a TAVR procedure to replace a faulty heart valve. The goal is to see how well the procedure works over the long term in everyday medical practice. Researchers will track deaths, heart attacks, and other he…

This study looks at whether giving routine heart ultrasounds to nursing home residents can help catch heart problems early and reduce emergency hospital visits. About 1,050 residents will take part. The goal is to see if this screening is practical and effective in a nursing home…

This study compares two ways of delivering cardiac rehabilitation: in-person sessions at a clinic and telehealth sessions done from home. Researchers want to see if both methods produce similar improvements in walking ability and quality of life for people with heart conditions. …

This study looks at whether a special heart ultrasound measurement, called global longitudinal strain (GLS), can predict if a person will have a hard time coming off the heart-lung machine during heart surgery. Researchers will follow 213 adults having planned heart surgery and t…
