Heart scan study aims to personalize leaky valve treatment
NCT ID NCT05965258
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is for adults with a weak heart muscle and a leaky mitral valve (functional mitral regurgitation). Researchers will use advanced MRI scans to better predict which treatments—medication or a minimally invasive valve repair—will work best for each person. The goal is to improve outcomes and reduce the risk of heart failure, transplant, or death.
