About this trial

Valvular heart disease (VHD) is a leading cause of loss of physical function, reduced quality of life and increased longevity.The epidemiology of VHD varies widely across the globe, with functional and degenerative diseases occurring predominantly in high-income countries and rheumatic heart disease occurring predominantly in low- and middle-income countries. The prevalence of valvular heart disease (VHD) is increasing globally due to improved survival and aging populations, poorly controlled by medications, with the majority of patients having to undergo surgical or interventional treatments.

It is therefore important to search for novel metabolites and conduct mechanistic studies on the effects of these metabolites on patients with heart valve disease.

In the Hestia study, the investigators looked for risk factors and mechanisms associated with the development and prognosis of VHD through long-term follow-up of VHD patients and metabolite testing of specimen tissues.
