Heart MRI may outshine ultrasound for valve surgery timing
NCT ID NCT07366723
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether using a cardiac MRI (CMR) instead of the usual ultrasound helps doctors make better decisions about heart valve surgery for people with severe mitral regurgitation (a leaky heart valve). About 260 adults with no symptoms but severe leakage will be followed for two years. The goal is to see if MRI-guided decisions lead to healthier heart chamber sizes and fewer complications.
