Noise from mechanical heart valve and quality of life
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how the noise from a mechanical heart valve affects your quality of life after surgery. You will be asked about your memories of the information you received before surgery and how you feel now.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are covered by French social security or universal health coverage (CMU).
- You speak French fluently.

This is a study that collects information from people who are having a minimally invasive procedure to close a leak around a heart valve replacement device. It may help doctors better understand how well this procedure works and what outcomes to expect.
This study collects information about people with long-term breathing problems who may receive an implanted device that helps control breathing. It helps doctors better understand who benefits and how these treatments are used in real life.
This study looks at how a less invasive heart valve procedure affects your day-to-day functioning and overall quality of life. If you’re already being considered for a transcatheter (catheter-based) valve replacement, you may be able to join to help understand what improvements patients experience.
This study tests a biological (tissue) heart valve replacement system designed to be easier to change later. It may help people who need valve surgery because their valve is narrowed or damaged.
This study measures how heart procedures affect quality of life for both patients and their caregivers, using simple questionnaires.
This study looks at people who had their mitral valve replaced to see if the original valve problem (tight vs leaky) affects how long the new valve lasts. It may help doctors understand which patients need closer follow-up.
