Summary
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 successful, this could give doctors a clearer, safer way to plan treatments without extra radiation.
