GPx Activity in Subjects With Aortic Stenosis Undergoing TAVR

June 28, 2021 updated by: University of Florida

Glutathione Peroxidase Activity in Subjects With Aortic Stenosis Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement.

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.

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

Study participants with severe aortic stenosis undergoing TAVR. They will be matched with patients without aortic stenosis based on age, gender, race, and co-morbidities (including stroke, history of coronary artery disease, heart failure, diabetes, hypertension, and other valvular diseases).

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age >18 years
  • Patients with severe AS including participants with low flow, low gradient severe AS and paradoxical severe AS
  • Patients meeting criteria for TAVR procedure

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Previous aortic valve replacement (surgical or TAVR)
  • Participants undergoing chemotherapy
  • End stage liver disease/cirrhosis (liver produces GSH)
