Study of how the aorta varies in healthy people and patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You must be able to have an MRI scan (not “MRI not possible”)
- If you are healthy, you should not have known cardiovascular disease
- If you have aortic stenosis, you must have 3rd degree aortic stenosis
- If you have an aortic aneurysm, you must have an aortic aneurysm
- Avoid enrolling if you are currently on active medication

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at blood and/or body signals (called biomarkers) to understand why aortic valve narrowing may worsen and what outcomes people have. You may be able to help researchers by undergoing regular heart care plus additional testing like MRI or CT if you qualify.
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 study looks at how exercise affects people with aortic aneurysms and how the aorta's structure relates to its function. You may join if you have an aortic aneurysm and are being monitored or scheduled for surgery, or if you are a healthy person for comparison.
This study looks for biological markers in the blood that might help predict heart-related events in people with a narrowed aortic heart valve. It aims to improve care for those with this condition, whether or not they have a procedure called TAVI to replace the valve.
This study looks at how aortic stenosis (a narrowing of the heart valve) changes over time using imaging and blood tests. It may help doctors better understand and treat this condition.
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.
