4D heart scan for people with a bicuspid aortic valve
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a special 4D heart scan to learn how well your bicuspid aortic valve works. It may help doctors better understand valve function and plan care, but the scan involves imaging contrast in some cases.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Have a documented bicuspid aortic valve on a scan (CT, MRI, or echocardiogram)
- Have little to no valve calcification at the start of the study
- Be able and willing to sign the informed consent form
- Not be pregnant at the time of the scan (urine pregnancy test)

This study tests whether a newer CT scan method can better detect coronary heart disease. You may qualify if your doctor referred you for a heart CT scan.
This study uses a CT scan (with contrast dye) to measure the coronary artery openings after people have a new aortic valve placed surgically. It aims to see how to best plan or understand coronary blood flow after the surgery.
This study looks at how genes may affect the risk of calcium buildup in the aortic valve in people with a bicuspid aortic valve. By joining, you help researchers find better ways to predict and manage this heart condition.
This study uses a special 3D heart ultrasound to measure how well the tricuspid valve and right side of the heart are working. It may help improve how these conditions are evaluated and followed over time.
This study follows patients who have a bicuspid aortic valve—a heart valve with two leaflets instead of three. Researchers track how this condition changes over time to better understand its long-term effects and help guide future care.
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.
