Measuring heart scarring in aortic stenosis patients
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses imaging to measure heart scarring in people with aortic stenosis, a condition where the heart valve is narrowed. It aims to better understand how scarring affects long-term outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been part of the initial group in the previous study
- You must be able to complete the study procedures like MRI and echocardiogram
- You must have mild, moderate, or severe aortic stenosis
- You cannot have kidney problems
- You cannot have had a heart attack in the past
- You cannot have other heart valve or heart muscle diseases that cause scarring
- You cannot have severe high blood pressure or other serious medical conditions

This trial compares two pressure-based measurements of blood flow in the coronary arteries with a PET heart scan in people with severe aortic valve stenosis. It may help doctors choose the most accurate way to assess blood flow and guide care during valve treatment.
This study uses a special PET scan to look for scarring (fibrosis) in the heart muscle of people with heart failure. It may help doctors better understand why some hearts get stiff or weak.
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 study looks at how the heart changes after a minimally invasive procedure to fix an aortic aneurysm. It uses imaging to track heart function and structure over time.
This study tests an approach aimed at reducing heart scarring (fibrosis) after heart failure. It enrolls people with moderate to severe heart failure who have signs of active heart strain and can complete study tests.
This study looks at markers of inflammation and scarring in people who develop heart rhythm problems after having a TAVI procedure (a minimally invasive valve replacement). It may help doctors understand and predict these complications.
