First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 28 times

Summary

This study follows 60 adults with a bicuspid aortic valve (a heart valve with two flaps instead of three) for 5 years using yearly 4D CT scans. The goal is to measure how the valve moves and changes shape over time, which may help doctors better predict future valve problems. Participants will get extra imaging beyond standard care, and the study does not test any treatment.
