Read our Heart Failure research guide →This research study is testing whether simple heart imaging tests—like ultrasound measurements—can accurately reflect what an invasive catheter procedure shows about right heart function in patients with severe valve disease. Researchers want to find reliable, non-invasive ways to assess your heart's right side so doctors can make better treatment decisions without always needing the more invasive procedure.
Currently, doctors don't have reliable ultrasound or imaging methods to fully evaluate how well the right side of the heart is pumping in patients with severe leaky or narrowed heart valves. This study aims to identify accurate imaging markers that could improve diagnosis and help guide treatment decisions for conditions like mitral or tricuspid valve disease.

You will first have a heart imaging test (MRI, CT scan, or 3D ultrasound) to assess your right heart function. Within 72 hours, you'll undergo a right heart catheterization procedure—a minimally invasive test where doctors thread a small tube through a vein to the heart chambers to measure pressure and flow directly. During the catheterization, doctors will also take additional ultrasound images to compare with your initial imaging results.
