Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Severe aortic valve stenosis is known to affect heart haemodynamics, endothelial function and body inflammation markers. Our aim is to investigate the weather transcatheter aortic valve implantation in patients with severe aortic stenosis affects heart rate variability, inflammation markers and endothelial function.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Diagnostic Test: Flow mediated vasodilatation
  • Diagnostic Test: High resolution ECG
  • Diagnostic Test: Blood withdrawal

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
TAVI group

Consecutive patients undergoing TAVI

Diagnostic Test: Flow mediated vasodilatation
Measurement of brachial artery diameter change before and after limb ischaemia.

Diagnostic Test: High resolution ECG
Measurement HRV using high resolution ECG

Diagnostic Test: Blood withdrawal
Measurement of endothelial inflammation markers

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Change of heart rate variability [3 to 6 months after TAVI]

    Change of heart rate variability (HRV) estimated with digital high resolution ECG recording

  2. Change of laboratory value of endothelial inflammation markers [3 to 6 months after TAVI]

    Laboratory determined numerical changes in endothelial inflammation markers

  3. Change of flow-mediated filatation (FMD) of the brachial artery [3 to 6 months after TAVI]

    % flow-mediated dilatation
