Evaluation of Aortic valve interventions

Aortic Valve

In an observational cohort study we follow patients with aortic valve disease from evaluation through the surgery or catheter based intervention to one year follow up.

We use echocardiography, biochemical markers and clinical data to describe the course and to find variables predicting short and long term adverse outcome.

Mitral Valve Surgery

Mitral valve regurgitation is the most common indication for mitral valve surgery. A repair of the valve results in a more beneficial outcome than a replacement with a prosthesis.

Atrial fibrillation is common in patients scheduled for cardiac surgery. We study the impact of different ablation techniques on apoptosis, inflammatory response, atrial function and clinical outcome.
