Impact of Aortic Valve Disease and Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm on Kinocardiographic Signals
Kinocardiography (KCG) is a portable measurement technique developed to estimate cardiac mechanical performance by studying the vibrations produced by myocardial contraction during each heartbeat and transmitted to the body surface.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about kinocardiography in patients with aortic valve disease (AVD) or thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA). The investigators believe that this technology will enable to diagnose aortic valve disease and aortic aneurysm.
In patients with AVD of different severities or TAA, the investigators will collect informations from echocardiography and/or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, KCG recordings, phonocardiography (PCG) recordings, and video recordings. Researchers will also compare subjects without any AVD nor TAA to better understand these effects on KCG, PCG and video signal.
Inclusion: "Interventional treatment" group; Adults (>18 y); Interventional treatment indication for severe AVD and/or severe TAA, as decided by the Heart Team; "Aortic valve disease of different severities" group; Adults (>18y); Aortic stenosis and/or aortic regurgitation and/or bicuspidy of different severities confirmed by echocardiography and/or cardiac MRI; "Control" group : - Adults (>18 y) appariated with the participants of other groups according to their age, sex, body surface area and LVEF.
Exclusion: Any severe rhythm disorder such as frequent ventricular extrasystoles, atrial tachyarrhythmias; Subjects suffering from aortic valve disease or thoracic aortic aneurysm will be excluded from the "control" group; Subject's disabilty to give consent.
