MRI scans may reveal best time for heart valve surgery

NCT ID NCT02186691

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at 11 people with a repaired heart condition called tetralogy of Fallot who needed a new pulmonary valve. Researchers used MRI scans to measure heart muscle stiffness (fibrosis) and how well the heart pumped during rest and exercise. The goal was to see if these scans could predict how much the heart would improve after valve replacement, helping doctors choose the best time for surgery.
