Researchers want to understand whether fixing problems with your heart valves — using two types of minimally invasive procedures — can also help improve sleep-disordered breathing (when you stop breathing or breathe shallowly during sleep). This study will monitor your sleep patterns before and 6 months after your valve repair to see if the treatment helps you sleep better.
Many people with heart valve problems also experience sleep-disordered breathing, but doctors don't fully understand how these two conditions interact or whether fixing the valve problem can improve sleep. This study aims to fill that gap and help doctors better understand the benefits of these valve repair procedures.

You will have a sleep study (polysomnography) before your scheduled heart valve repair procedure, where you'll spend a night in a sleep lab with monitoring equipment attached to track your breathing and sleep patterns. After your valve repair, you'll have another sleep study at the 6-month follow-up visit to see if your sleep has improved. The study team will also review your heart imaging and heart rhythm information to understand the connection between your valve repair and sleep improvements.
