Predicting long-term outcomes for patients with aortic stenosis after valve intervention

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

This observational study includes patients with severe aortic stenosis who are scheduled for transcatheter intervention or open surgery. Participants are monitored through clinical visits during the first year post-intervention, with imaging assessments using echocardiography, CT, MRI, and PET-CT for a subgroup. Blood samples, physical performance metrics, and questionnaires focusing on frailty and heart failure are collected at each visit. Long-term outcomes will be tracked through national registries over a follow-up period of 2-5 years.
