Thinking and memory after heart valve treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how heart valve treatment may affect thinking and memory. It involves tests before and after the procedure to see if patients improve.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have severe narrowing of your aortic heart valve.
- You are scheduled for a valve replacement procedure through a catheter (a tube inserted in a blood vessel).
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You can read and understand German well enough to complete tests and questionnaires.
- You are willing to take part and sign a consent form.

This trial is for people with aortic valve disease (aortic valve narrowing, leakage, or a worn-out valve). It tests what the doctors learn from following these patients, and it may help improve future care.
This study follows patients after heart bypass surgery to see if their thinking and memory change. It aims to understand how common memory problems are after surgery and what factors might affect them.
This study tracks patients getting a new heart valve (transcatheter aortic valve implantation) for severe aortic stenosis. It aims to understand long-term outcomes and safety in a real-world registry.
This study looks at whether certain blood markers (carbon dioxide and lactate) can help predict confusion or memory problems after heart surgery. If you're having planned heart surgery, the findings may help doctors identify and support patients at higher risk for post-surgery thinking issues.
This study looks at how heart procedures (bypass surgery or stenting) affect thinking and memory. It will test your brain function before and after the procedure to see if there are any changes.
This trial tests whether brain-focused cognitive training before elective heart surgery can help reduce memory and thinking problems afterward. If you qualify, you may do language-based thinking exercises and complete short brain tests around the time of surgery.
