New study tracks heartbeat irregularities after valve procedure
NCT ID NCT07390513
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 1000 patients who had a standard aortic valve replacement (TAVR) to see how their heart rhythms change over a year. Researchers will track abnormal heartbeats using ECG monitors. The goal is to learn which patients are at risk for rhythm problems and how they recover.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors better predict and manage heart rhythm problems after TAVR, improving patient care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a treatment trial. It cannot prove that any intervention causes or prevents arrhythmias. Results may not apply to all TAVR patients.

Who is studied
The study population consists of adult patients with severe aortic stenosis who undergo transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) as part of routine clinical care at Fuwai Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. Eligible participants include consecutive patients who receive TAVR and undergo systematic post-procedural rhythm evaluation as part of standard follow-up. The registry focuses on patients with available baseline and follow-up electrocardiographic assessments, allowing for longitudinal evaluation of cardiac arrhythmias after TAVR. Particular attention is given to ventricular arrhythmias, including premature ventricular contractions, as well as atrial arrhythmias and conduction disturbances occurring during follow-up. This study population reflects a real-world cohort of patients treated with contemporary TAVR devices and management strategies, providing comprehensive clinical, echocardiographic, electrocardiographic, and procedural data to characterize electrophysi

Inclusion Criteria: Age ≥18 years at the time of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Diagnosis of severe aortic stenosis based on current guideline-recommended echocardiographic criteria. Undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) as part of routine clinical care. Availability of baseline electrocardiographic assessment, including ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring for evaluation of premature ventricular contraction (PVC) burden. Completion of post-procedural rhythm follow-up, including ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring at 12 months after TAVR. Ability to provide informed consent or availability of legally authorized consent, as required by the institutional review board. Exclusion Criteria: Absence of premature ventricular contractions at baseline (PVC burden = 0), as PVC response cannot be meaningfully assessed in this population. Presence of a permanent pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator prior to TAVR. Receipt of catheter ablation for atrial or ventricular arrhythmias before TAVR or during the follow-up period. Death occurring during the index hospitalization or before completion of rhythm follow-up. Inability to complete scheduled electrocardiographic or ambulatory rhythm assessments during follow-up. Missing or incomplete key electrocardiographic, echocardiographic, or follow-up data required for outcome assessment.
