Genetic aortic diseases and heart risks observational study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at people with genetic aortic diseases to understand risk factors for heart complications. By joining, you help researchers learn more about these conditions and how to better manage them.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a genetic aortic disease that affects the main artery from the heart
- You are willing and able to give written informed consent
- You can speak, read, and write in Italian

This study looks at skin cells (fibroblasts) from people with Marfan syndrome or other genetic conditions that cause thoracic aortic aneurysms. The goal is to understand how these cells behave, which may help improve future treatments.
This study asks people who have had heart or blood vessel problems about their understanding of risk factors and how they view their cardiovascular health. Researchers want to learn whether men and women perceive their heart disease risk differently.
This trial is for people with inherited (family-run) aortic enlargement or aneurysm caused by a specific DNA gene change. It uses genetic information to guide more precise care, which may help tailor monitoring and treatment for you and your family.
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.
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 the tissue “structure and strength” in people with a bulging (aneurysm) in the upper part of the aorta, either before symptoms or during emergency surgery. Your tissue samples help researchers understand why these aneurysms happen and how they may behave over time.
