VALVULAR HEART DISEASE

This study is testing whether a sensitive digital stethoscope can detect early heart disease by picking up subtle changes in heart sounds. Researchers will record heart sounds from 500 patients who are already scheduled for standard heart scans. The goal is to see if this simple …

This study is testing whether artificial intelligence (AI) can help heart doctors read ultrasound scans of the heart more quickly and consistently. It will involve 50 cardiologists at Columbia University who will use the AI tool while reviewing patient scans. The goal is to see i…

This study aims to compare how well patients recover their heart and lung fitness after two types of heart surgery: a newer, less invasive robotic-assisted procedure and the traditional open-chest method. It will follow 80 patients having either coronary artery bypass or valve re…

This study aims to better understand how changes in lung blood vessels affect people with heart valve problems who are scheduled for valve repair or replacement. Researchers will observe 600 patients to identify patterns that predict which patients are more likely to see improvem…

This study aims to test and validate new, faster heart MRI scanning techniques that can detect very early tissue damage. Researchers will compare these detailed heart images with standard blood tests in 1,000 participants, including both people with various heart conditions and h…

This study aims to understand how combinations of different heart valve problems affect patients' health over time. Researchers will follow 1,000 adults with at least two moderate-to-severe valve issues for five years, tracking their health outcomes and treatments. The goal is to…
