ClinConnect Summary

The Valvular Aortic Stenosis Prognosis Study is looking to understand the long-term outcomes for patients with a condition called aortic stenosis, which is a narrowing of the heart's aortic valve. This study will examine both patients who have symptoms and those who do not, to better understand how this condition affects them over time. Researchers will use heart ultrasound tests (called echocardiograms) to gather important information about the condition and how it might progress.

If you're between the ages of 65 and 74 and have been diagnosed with aortic stenosis in the past or have had an echocardiogram showing a narrowing of the aortic valve, you might be eligible to participate. However, you won't be able to join if you previously had surgery on your aortic valve or if you choose not to participate. For those who do join, the study will involve reviewing medical records and echocardiogram results collected over several years, helping to provide valuable insights into this common heart condition.
