Familial bicuspid aortic valve
MONDO:0007194A rare, genetic, aortic malformation defined as a presence of abnormal two-leaflet aortic valve in at least 2 first-degree relatives. It is frequently asymptomatic or may be associated with progressive aortic valve disease (aortic regurgitation and/or aortic stenosis, typically due to valve calcification) and a concomitant aortopathy (i.e. aortic dilation, aortic aneurysm and/or dissection).
Also known as: familial BAV, AOVD1, aortic valve disease 1, aortic valve disease type 1

New heart valve technology put to the test in 777 patients
Disease control CompletedThis study tested whether a new way of processing tissue for Edwards heart valves is safe and works well. 777 adults who needed a new aortic or mitral valve took part. Researchers checked for valve problems like wear or calcification over about a year, and will follow patients fo…

New Heart-Saving tactic tested in surgery
Disease control CompletedThis study tested a special heart-protection method given during heart surgery to see if it could reduce damage to the heart muscle. 210 adults having aortic valve surgery took part. Researchers measured a protein called troponin I in the blood for 72 hours after surgery to check…

Healing sounds and sights: VR and binaural beats tested for Post-Surgery sleep
Symptom relief CompletedThis study tested whether virtual reality relaxation or binaural beat stimulation can improve sleep and reduce discomfort in 140 adults who had mechanical heart valve replacement. Many patients struggle with sleep due to the sound of the new valve. Participants were randomly assi…

A new way to size heart valves: could the 'circle method' reduce TAVI complications?
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study looks at whether the 'circle method' — a way to measure the aortic valve — can help doctors choose the right size replacement valve for people with bicuspid aortic valves who are getting a TAVI procedure. Researchers will review past cases to see if patients whose valv…

New heart valves show promise in 5-Year Follow-Up study
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis completed study looked at 172 patients who received either a new-generation biological aortic valve or a traditional one during heart surgery. Researchers tracked survival and valve function over five years to see how the newer valves compare. The goal is to provide real-wor…

New study tracks how a common heart valve performs in people born with a bicuspid valve
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study follows 150 people with bicuspid aortic stenosis—a narrowed heart valve present from birth—who receive a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVI) using the Evolut Pro or Evolut R XL device. Researchers will measure how well the valve works over time, including blo…

Heart valve choice may impact your mental health years later
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study looked at 1,811 patients aged 60-70 who had heart valve replacement surgery. Researchers compared different types of artificial valves to see if the valve type was linked to developing depression, anxiety, or sleep disorders later. The goal was to understand if the cho…

AI spots hidden heart valve risks in routine scans
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis completed study used artificial intelligence to analyze electrocardiograms (ECGs) and chest X-rays from over 116,000 adults. The goal was to see if combining these routine tests could predict which patients would develop moderate or severe heart valve regurgitation. The rese…

Heart surgery study seeks to pinpoint protection window
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study looked at 80 adults having heart valve or aortic surgery to find out how long a special heart protection solution (Del Nido cardioplegia) keeps the heart safe during surgery. Researchers took blood samples at set times to see when heart injury began. The goal was to le…

Newer, faster heart valve surgery may cause hidden rhythm issues
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study looked back at 198 patients who had a sutureless aortic valve replacement to see how often they developed heart rhythm problems. These newer valves are faster to implant but have a metal frame that might affect the heart's electrical system. The goal was to better unde…

Scientists hunt for genetic clues to aortic aneurysm risk
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study collected blood and tissue samples from 91 adults with aortic valve disease to look for genetic differences that might explain why some develop aortic aneurysms. Researchers compared gene activity in people with bicuspid valves, tricuspid valves, and healthy controls. …
