Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of intraoperative music on patient anxiety and comfort during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedures.
Detailed Description
This study is exploring whether listening to music during a minimally invasive heart valve procedure called transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) can help reduce patient anxiety. TAVR is often done with light sedation, so patients may be awake and aware during parts of the procedure, which can sometimes feel stressful. In this study, patients will be randomly assigned to either listen to relaxing music through headphones during the procedure or to wear headphones without music.
