Aortic sclerosis and heart disease connection

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 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 looks at whether people with both severe aortic valve narrowing and cardiac amyloidosis (a buildup of abnormal proteins in the heart) can benefit from a valve replacement procedure. It may help doctors understand how common this combination is and how to improve care.

This study develops and tests a new way to diagnose severe aortic stenosis (narrowing of the aortic valve) by measuring calcium buildup on the valve using heart ultrasound. If you're already getting both an ultrasound and a CT scan of your heart, this study compares how well the ultrasound method can identify severe stenosis.

This study uses an artificial intelligence (AI) program to analyze past heart ultrasound images and predict if your aortic valve condition (mild thickening or narrowing) may get worse over time. The goal is to catch changes early and personalize your follow-up care.

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.
