MRI scans may predict who benefits from MitraClip heart valve repair
NCT ID NCT07131631
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will use cardiac MRI scans to measure heart muscle scarring in 125 people with heart failure and a leaky mitral valve who are scheduled for a MitraClip procedure. Researchers want to see if the amount of scarring predicts how well the heart recovers six months later. Participants will have an MRI before the procedure and again at six months, along with questionnaires about their symptoms.
