Does fixing a leaky heart valve help kidneys and daily movement in older adults?

Recruiting · Robert Bosch Medical Center

What this means

This trial plans to check whether treating a leaky tricuspid heart valve helps kidney function and physical activity. It has not reported results, so it cannot yet show whether those changes happen.

Registry summary

The hypothesis is that renal function will improve following tricuspid valve intervention. A reduction in renal biomarkers is also expected. Furthermore, based on previous assessments, it is anticipated that there will be an improvement in volume status (reduced edema), symptom burden, and physical capacity in patients. Additionally, the study will assess the impact of the intervention on functional parameters such as motor capacity, physical activity, performance of activities of daily living, and ultimately, participation and quality of life.
