Heart scans for amyloidosis in people with severe aortic valve stenosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how often cardiac amyloidosis occurs in people with severe aortic valve stenosis. It uses different heart scans to find out more. If you have both conditions, this research may help doctors understand your situation better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have severe aortic valve stenosis (narrowing of the heart's main valve).
- Your doctor suspects you may have cardiac amyloidosis (protein buildup in the heart).
- You need a heart imaging test like an echocardiogram, CT scan, Tc99-SPECT/CT, or cardiac MRI for a medical reason.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You can give your written consent to participate.

This study aims to find, describe, and track people with cardiac amyloidosis over time. It uses MRI scans and other tests to better understand the condition, which may help guide future treatment.
This study tests different ways to check for blocked heart arteries in patients getting a new aortic valve through a tube in the leg. It aims to find the best approach to guide treatment.
This study looks at whether people having TAVR for aortic stenosis also have a condition called cardiac amyloidosis (abnormal protein buildup in the heart). If you're eligible, the study may help doctors detect this condition and better manage your care.
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 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 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.
