GPx Activity in Subjects With Aortic Stenosis Undergoing TAVR

Withdrawn
Conditions
Glutathione Peroxidase Activity
Aortic Stenosis
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: Blood draw to measure GPx activity
Diagnostic Test: Blood draw to measure SOD activity
Diagnostic Test: Blood draw to measure Lp(a) levels
Registration Number
NCT04268160
Lead Sponsor
University of Florida
Brief Summary

The aim of this project is to investigate the association of glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and severe aortic stenosis (AS), as well as the impact of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) on GPx activity post-procedure. The burden of oxidative stress will be determined by the measurement of GPx, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and lipoprotein A (Lp(a)). We hypothesize GPx activity is reduced in participants with severe AS vs control groups and GPx activity is to increase after TAVR is performed.
