Heart imaging breakthrough may sharpen TAVI predictions
NCT ID NCT07179302
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether two advanced heart ultrasound measures (LACI and LV speckle tracking) can better predict complications like hospital readmission, heart attack, or stroke after TAVI valve replacement. Researchers studied 100 patients with severe aortic stenosis. The goal is to improve personalized care, not to cure the disease.

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Patients with severe aortic stenosis and scheduled for TAVI will be recruited from Madina Cardiac Center over a period of 12 months Data Collection * Baseline Clinical Data: Demographic information, comorbidities, and clinical risk scores * Echocardiographic Assessment: Pre procedural transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) will be performed to measure: Left Atrial Coupling Index (LACI): Left Ventricular Speckle Tracking Echocardiography (LVSTE): Global longitudinal strain (GLS) will be measured to quantify myocardial deformation. All echocardiographic measurements will be performed by experienced operators blinded to clinical outcomes.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis and scheduled for TAVI. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with significant mitral or tricuspid valve disease requiring intervention. * History of atrial fibrillation or other arrhythmias that preclude accurate LACI measurement. * Poor echocardiographic window preventing reliable imaging.
