This study tests whether playing music during a minimally invasive heart valve replacement (TAVR) can lower patient anxiety. 100 adults scheduled for TAVR will either listen to music through headphones or wear headphones without music. Researchers will measure anxiety levels and overall satisfaction to see if music makes the experience more comfortable.
