A study to improve heart and aorta health
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial looks at ways to improve cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) health, especially conditions that affect the aorta, such as aneurysms, or vascular problems that may run in families. If you have an aortic-related or other cardiovascular diagnosis (or you’re a healthy comparison participant), you may be invited to take part in this health-improvement program.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older, or if under 18, have a parent/guardian consent and your assent if applicable
- Be willing and able to sign the informed consent form
- Have a condition involving the aorta (the body’s main artery), such as an aortic aneurysm or other aortic problem
- Or have a suspected inherited (family-linked) vascular condition, even if it’s not fully confirmed yet
- Or have a strong family history of aortic or blood vessel disease, or another cardiovascular condition
- If you are a “healthy control,” you should have no apparent cardiovascular disease

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses MRI scans to understand how different parts of the aorta look and behave, including in healthy volunteers and people with aortic problems. It may help researchers better describe differences in the aorta that could improve future diagnosis or treatment planning.
This trial is for people with inherited (family-run) aortic enlargement or aneurysm caused by a specific DNA gene change. It uses genetic information to guide more precise care, which may help tailor monitoring and treatment for you and your family.
This study looks at how heart mechanics, blood markers, and frailty relate to symptoms and heart measurements in people with aortic stenosis (a stiff, narrowed heart valve). It may help doctors better understand who is at higher risk and how disease changes over time.
This study builds a biobank, meaning it collects and stores your health information, blood, and possibly heart-related samples to help researchers learn why heart conditions happen. You might join if you have certain heart diagnoses and are having cardiac surgery for a problem other than an aortic valve issue.
This study uses a special recording device to see if heart and aorta problems can be detected earlier. It may help people with aortic valve disease or enlarged aorta decide on treatment.
This trial uses artificial intelligence to better analyze CT scans of the aorta, the large artery that carries blood from your heart. If your CT scan shows the aorta is partly cut off or missing in the images, the AI will help measure the parts that are fully visible.
