First seen Jan 27, 2026 · Last updated May 06, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
This study looks at 260 people with a severe leaky heart valve (mitral regurgitation) but no symptoms yet. Doctors usually use ultrasound to decide if surgery is needed. Here, half the patients' doctors also get a cardiac MRI result to see if it leads to better decisions. The goal is to see if MRI helps avoid unnecessary surgery or catch problems earlier.
