This study looks at whether a special 3D ultrasound technique called TrueVue can better find and measure calcium buildup on the mitral valve, a common heart problem. Researchers will compare the ultrasound images to CT scans in 100 adults who already need these tests. If successf…

This study is for people getting a minimally invasive procedure to fix leaky heart valves. Researchers will use MRI scans to see how the heart changes shape and works better after the procedure. The goal is to learn which patients benefit most and why, helping doctors improve fut…

This study follows 100 people who had heart bypass surgery guided by a special CT scan, to see if imaging details and a blood fat called Lp(a) can predict how well they do afterward. Researchers will track symptoms, quality of life, and major heart events like heart attacks or st…

This study uses 3D echocardiography to track changes in the tricuspid valve of 66 people with atrial fibrillation (AF) who do not yet have significant valve leakage. Researchers want to see if the valve's shape changes as AF becomes more persistent. The goal is to better understa…

This study aims to develop artificial intelligence tools that can analyze heart CT scans to identify dangerous plaque buildup that may lead to heart attacks. Researchers will study 4,000 people with known or suspected coronary artery disease to create and test a computer model th…

This study aims to develop a computer model that can predict how well blood flows to the heart muscle during stress, using only a standard CT scan. Currently, this requires an additional scan and a drug to simulate stress. The researchers will analyze CT scans from 400 people wit…

This study looks at 300 people with mitral valve prolapse, a common heart valve condition, to find ways to predict if they have scarring in the heart muscle. Researchers will use heart scans, EKGs, and other tests to build a scoring system. The goal is to better identify who is a…
