Aortic Regurgitation Disease, Aortic Stenosis Disease, Healthy Subjects
Conditions
Brief summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn whether noninvasive real-time arterial waveform monitoring can be used to assess cardiovascular diseases in adults. The main question it aims to answer is: Can photoacoustic imaging accurately capture arterial waveforms from patients' fingers? Can features extracted from the arterial waveforms reflect the type and severity of cardiovascular diseases? Participants will be asked to place their fingers into the imaging device, where their finger arterial pulse information will be noninvasively recorded.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluation of the state of aortic regurgitation and aortic stenosis by photoacoustic tomography | At enrollment (single time point) | To determine the feasibility of using photoacoustic tomography to differentiate aortic regurgitation and aortic stenosis based on arterial waveform measurements. |
Secondary
