AI-Powered 3D heart scan could revolutionize valve leak diagnosis
NCT ID NCT07528781
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new artificial intelligence software that uses 3D echocardiography to measure mitral regurgitation (a leaky heart valve) more accurately than the standard 2D method. Researchers will compare the 3D tool against cardiac MRI, the current gold standard, in 200 adults with moderate or severe mitral regurgitation. If successful, the tool could help doctors make faster and better treatment decisions, especially during emergency procedures.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Patients 18 years old or older with at least moderate mitral regurgitation of any etiology (primary or secondary) who are referred for transesophageal echocardiographic evaluation will be included. During the same day or within 5 days of transesophageal echocardiography, patients with undergo cardiac magnetic resonance. Patients with multiple regurgitant jets will not be excluded. In addition, patients with concomitant mitral stenosis, or other valvular heart disease will not be excluded. Patients with prior mitral valve intervention or bad image quality for analysis of 3D color flow or cardiac magnetic resonance will be excluded. Patients with contraindications for cardiac magnetic resonance will be excluded.
