What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

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.
