Summary
This study is looking for DNA markers that might predict brain damage in older adults having a minimally invasive heart valve replacement (TAVR). Researchers will measure DNA methylation in blood before and after the procedure and compare it to brain scans. The goal is to find new ways to identify patients at higher risk for silent strokes or cognitive decline.
