NCT ID NCT04358692
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study used a special ultrasound technique called elastography to measure heart muscle stiffness during planned aortic valve replacement surgery. Researchers compared stiffness in patients with aortic stenosis to those having bypass surgery. The goal was to see if aortic stenosis makes the heart stiffer, not to test a new treatment.
