New imaging study peers inside rare heart valve condition
NCT ID NCT04645862
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will follow 60 adults with a bicuspid aortic valve (a heart valve with two flaps instead of three) for five years. Each year, participants will get a special 4D CT scan to take detailed measurements of the valve's shape and movement. The goal is to learn more about how the valve works over time, which may help doctors better predict future heart problems.
