Heart valve size mismatch: does it affect Long-Term recovery?

NCT ID NCT00854698

Summary

This study looked at whether having a slightly mismatched aortic valve after replacement surgery affects long-term heart function and exercise ability. Researchers followed 77 patients under age 60 who received mechanical aortic valve replacements to measure their exercise capacity and heart changes over time. The goal was to understand if valve mismatch impacts how well the heart recovers and functions years after surgery.
