Prevalence of Wildtype Amyloid After TAVR

Withdrawn
Conditions
Amyloidosis
Registration Number
NCT03825406
Lead Sponsor
North Florida Foundation for Research and Education
Brief Summary

Those with abnormal vital signs after TAVR need to be willing to obtain a bone scan to evaluate for wildtype amyloidosis. Positive bone scan findings will require evaluation for primary amyloidosis with blood and urine monoclonal immunoglobulin testing. Primary amyloidosis is a different type of disease which requires different treatment.

Detailed Description

This research is interested in determining how common wildtype amyloidosis is after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Amyloidosis is a condition characterized by abnormal protein which can accumulate and impair various organs, including the heart. Research suggests that amyloidosis might be common among TAVR patients, but it is a condition that is not routinely evaluated for. We suspect that wildtype amyloidosis may be especially common among patients with abnormal vital signs after their TAVR procedure.
