Expression of Sodium-glucose Co-transporter 2 in Human Heart

Not Applicable
Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Aortic Valve Stenosis
Interventions
Biological: Myocardium biopsy
Registration Number
NCT05830760
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Strasbourg, France
Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate the expression of Sodium Glucose Co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) in myocardium from patients with aortic stenosis. 2 groups of patients will be defined: Group A with diastolic heart failure and Group B without heart failure. The expression of SGLT2 will be measured on small myocardium specimens harvested during aortic valve replacement operation. This study should allow us to better understand the effect of glifozines in human heart failure.
