NCT ID NCT04358692

First seen Sep 30, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 26 times

Summary

This study measured how stiff the heart muscle is during planned aortic valve replacement surgery for aortic stenosis. Researchers compared stiffness in 98 patients with aortic stenosis to a reference group having bypass surgery. The goal was to see if the extra pressure from aortic stenosis makes the heart stiffer, using a special ultrasound technique called elastography.
