This is a prospective, multicenter study designed to develop and validate a deep learning model for screening valvular heart diseases using routine, non-contrast chest computed tomography (CT) scans. The primary objective is to evaluate the model's diagnostic performance, with the sensitivity serving as the primary efficacy endpoint. Secondary endpoints will include other performance metrics such as area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), specificity, and accuracy, etc.
NCT03433274
Prospective, controlled, multicenter clinical investigation with four trial cohorts: Randomized, Non-repairable, Severe Mitral Annular Calcification (MAC) and Severe Mitral Annular Calcification Continued Access Plan (MAC CAP). Subjects in the Randomized cohort were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the trial device or to the MitraClip system. Subjects in the Non-repairable, Severe MAC, and Severe MAC CAP cohorts were receive the trial device. The objective of the Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Using the Tendyne Transcatheter Mitral Valve System for the Treatment of Symptomatic Mitral Regurgitation (SUMMIT) was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Tendyne Transcatheter Mitral Valve System for the treatment of patients with symptomatic, moderate-to-severe or severe mitral regurgitation or for patients with symptomatic mitral valve disease due to severe mitral annular calcification. This randomized controlled trial would provide the opportunity to evaluate the safety and clinical benefits of the Tendyne Transcatheter Mitral Valve System compared to the MitraClip System in patients with symptomatic, moderate-to-severe or severe mitral regurgitation, within approved MitraClip indications. In addition, the safety and effectiveness of the Tendyne Transcatheter Mitral Valve System would be evaluated in patients with severe mitral annular calcification who are at prohibitive risk for mitral valve surgery. Patients who were not suitable for mitral valve surgery for reasons other than severe mitral annular calcification and were also not suitable for transcatheter repair with MitraClip, would be enrolled in the Non-repairable cohort. Subjects would be seen at screening, pre- and post-procedure, discharge, 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, and annually through 5 years.
NCT05208567
Heart Valve Disease and Heart failure contribute to 25% of hospital emergency admissions while heart failure alone has become one of the most common causes for hospitalisation in people over the age of 65. The burden of disease is likely to be high in a multi-ethnic community but there is a paucity of data. Management of heart valve disease requires appropriate surveillance and timely surgery. Similarly heart failure management requires treatment with medications aimed at slowing prevention of symptoms and preventing premature death. The NHS long term plan priorities early detection and treatment of valve disease and heart failure in order to reduce the burden on emergency services and improve the health of the population. Diagnosis is made using cardiac ultrasound, however staff with the required skills-set are critically limited in the community. The investigators will train non-expert staff within primary care to perform abbreviated cardiac ultrasound to detect heart valve disease or heart failure. This will be opportunistic scanning to reduce healthcare footfall. All scans will be reviewed by an expert and the investigators will use the anonymised data to develop machine learning tools to begin working with academic partners to develop tools that can improve the reliability of diagnosis from ultrasound. The investigators hope to identify the proportion with the above conditions in a multi-ethnic community and assess the feasibility of developing a program where staff can be trained for community detection, streamlined referrals can be created bridging the gap between primary and secondary care, reducing hospital emergency admissions, while ensuring patients are managed optimally.
NCT07390903
The goal of this observational study is to learn whether global longitudinal strain (GLS), measured by echocardiography, can predict difficulty separating from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in adults undergoing elective cardiac surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can preoperative GLS measurement predict difficult separation from CPB? * Are GLS values associated with outcomes such as intensive care unit (ICU) stay, hospital stay, cardiac biomarkers, or 30-day mortality? Participants will: * Undergo standard cardiac surgery requiring CPB * Have echocardiographic assessments (TTE before and after surgery) * Have their recovery and outcomes monitored, including ICU and hospital stay, postoperative labs, and survival within 30 days
NCT03142152

NCT05932615
The objective of ENVISION is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Navitor Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) System for treating patients with symptomatic, severe native aortic stenosis who are considered intermediate or low risk for surgical mortality. The trial will also evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Navitor TAVI System in a valve-in-valve (ViV) application in patients with symptomatic heart disease due to failure of a surgical or transcatheter bioprosthetic aortic valve who are at high or greater surgical risk.
NCT03646760
The benefits of cardiac rehabilitation are well known. However, despite center based cardiac rehabilitation (CBCR) representing guideline-based care for patients with cardiovascular disease, most patients do not complete the maximum number of sessions allowed by third party insurance payers. As such, many patients may not be receiving the full clinical benefit ascribed to CR. This study will assess the efficacy of an innovative approach to CR delivery on attendance by combining both center-based and remote- or home-based CR sessions. The intervention group combines center-based CR and remote-/home-based CR and is tailored to the individual needs of each patient, accomplished with the assistance of an easy-to-access telecommunications methodology (telemedicine)
NCT07068633
Valvular heart disease (VHD) is a growing public health concern globally, with increasing disease burden and rising interest in advanced treatment strategies such as transcatheter interventions. However, there remains a significant lack of real-world data regarding echocardiography practices, disease prevalence and progression, referral patterns, and treatment pathways. Addressing these gaps is critical for improving patient care and informing clinical decision-making. South Korea provides a unique opportunity to conduct a nationwide retrospective echocardiographic study due to its advanced healthcare infrastructure, high patient volume, and strong tradition in clinical research. The current study aims to evaluate the real-world burden and clinical journey of patients with moderate or severe valvular disease over a 10-year period, based on echocardiographic and electronic medical record (EMR) data collected from multiple tertiary centers across the country.
NCT04977362
Valvular heart diseases are among the most common cardiac pathologies in adult patients in Germany. Currently, the process of care before, during and after heart valve surgery does not follow a standardized and interdisciplinary optimal approach. An approach already established in other surgical disciplines is the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol, which aims at optimizing the recovery process of patients. Within the INCREASE study, a care process inspired by the ERAS protocol will be established at the University Heart and Vascular Center (UHZ) of the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) and the University Medical Center Augsburg (UKA). Executing the study at two facilities in different regions in Germany will help to demonstrate transferability of the process of care. The effectiveness of this process compared to the current treatment approach will be investigated in a randomized controlled trial. A total of 186 patients will be allocated by chance either to the intervention group (ERAS protocol) or the control group (treatment as usual). Patients in the intervention group will receive an optimized interdisciplinary care protocol including medical, nursing, physiotherapeutical and psychotherapeutical interventions. Measurements of effectiveness are the number of hospitalized days (due to cardiac causes) within one year and the physical condition of the patient as measured by the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) on the day of discharge.
NCT06703528
The goal of this prospective, observational study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a cardiac surgical cryoablation system for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. This study will be conducted at Fuwai Hospital in China. A total of 10 subjects with heart valve diseases (e.g., mitral, tricuspid, and aortic valve diseases) requiring surgical treatment and with atrial fibrillation will be enrolled in the study, and all of them will undergo surgical ablation using surgical cryoablation devices (cryoablation clamps and pens) with follow-up visits at 3 and 6 months after the procedure. In this study, the incidence of cardiac and cerebrovascular-related adverse events in the perioperative period and at 6 months after procedure is defined as the primary safety endpoint (all-cause mortality, stroke, systematic embolism, cardiac reoperations, heart failure requiring hospitalization, ablation-related coronary artery stenosis/occlusion, pulmonary vein stenosis, and rate of permanent pacemaker implantation.). The primary efficacy endpoint is the probability of freedom from atrial tachyarrhythmias at 6 months after the procedure. Device ease of use, technical success, ablation procedure time, and assessment of the incidence of device defects are defined as secondary endpoints.

NCT04836702
Patient with coronary artery disease (CAD), heart failure and abnormal heart function undergoing major vascular surgery have a high associated high morbidity and mortality with myocardial infarction accounting for 33-50% of perioperative deaths. The prevalence of CAD in vascular surgery patients approaches 50%. Proper pre-procedure protocols to accurately assess patients and determine who may require further medical optimization prior to undergoing surgery help mitigate risk and improve outcomes. The investigators designed this study as a single center, retrospective cohort analysis to explore the association between ventricular (LV and RV function) and valvular (Aortic / Mitral / Tricuspid) function and expanded major adverse cardiac events (X-MACE).
NCT06235385
This study aims to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of multiple and mixed valvular heart disease (MMVD), which includes combinations of stenotic or regurgitant lesions on cardiac valves. The research will be conducted as a multicenter observational study, involving several centers worldwide, and will have a one-year follow-up period (with a possible extension to 5 years). The primary aim is to determine the proportion of MMVD among patients evaluated for valvular heart disease. Secondary aims include the evaluation of the epidemiologic distribution of clinical, biological, and cardiovascular imaging characteristics at baseline, management strategies, and their impact on prognosis. The study will also evaluate clinical outcomes such as mortality, hospitalization for heart failure, and changes in echocardiographic parameters. This research aims to provide valuable insights into the diagnosis, management, and prognosis of MMVD, addressing an important knowledge gap in this area.
