Evaluating heart valve disease using cardiac CT scans

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The EVIDENTIA Registry is a multicenter observational study focused on assessing valvular heart disease (VHD) through advanced cardiac CT imaging. It aims to evaluate cardiac valve anatomy, function, and myocardial characteristics by analyzing CT data in patients with moderate to severe VHD. The study will compare the severity and classification of VHD, monitor changes over time using echocardiography, and explore the relationship between imaging findings and patient outcomes. This comprehensive approach seeks to enhance understanding of VHD and improve patient management.

Why it matters

* 18 years of age or older

Exclusion Criteria:
