Testing thyroid hormone changes after TAVI in older adults
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how thyroid problems may develop after a heart procedure called TAVI in people age 70 and older. It may help doctors spot thyroid side effects earlier so they can treat them sooner.

This study observes people with various thyroid conditions, including overactive or underactive thyroid, to learn more about how these disorders develop and progress over time. It may help improve future diagnosis and treatment.
This study enrolls older adults having a minimally invasive heart valve procedure (TAVI) to find “epigenetic” risk markers—signals in the body that may predict who is more likely to have complications during the procedure. If you qualify, your blood and/or samples may be studied to improve safety for future patients.
This trial tests whether giving iron infusions after a TAVI procedure can help patients with iron deficiency feel better and improve their quality of life. It is for older adults who have low iron levels and have already had a successful valve replacement.
