Summary

This study looks at whether inflammation after a minimally invasive heart valve replacement (TAVI) can cause dangerous heart rhythm problems. Researchers will use a special PET scan to measure inflammation in the heart's electrical pathways. The goal is to better predict which patients truly need a pacemaker, avoiding unnecessary implants and their risks.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: 18F-FDG (a radioactive tracer used in PET scans)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could help doctors predict which patients truly need a pacemaker after TAVI, avoiding unnecessary implants and their complications.
What could go wrong: This is an early exploratory study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It uses imaging to observe inflammation, not to test a new treatment.
