Aortic Stenosis and Systemic Hypertension, Modeling Of
Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common cardiovascular disease after hypertension and coronary artery disease and is the most frequent cause of valvular replacement in developed countries (1,2). This disease refers to the narrowing of the aortic valve opening during left ventricular (LV) ejection (Fig. 1a). This can be caused by a congenital abnormality of the valve (for example, the valve coul...
متن کاملAortic dilatation in patients with bicuspid aortic valve.
The association of a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) with abnormalities of the proximal thoracic aorta, including dilatation, aneurysm and dissection, has been previously described, leading to the hypothesis of a common underlying developmental defect involving the aortic valve and the aortic wall. Consequently, any patient with BAV should receive a careful assessment not only of the valve function...
متن کاملAortic dilatation in bicuspid aortic valve disease.
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital cardiac abnormality, occurring in 0.5%-1.4% of the population; this anomaly is sporadically transmitted genetically by an autosomaldominant pathway, with a 3:1 male predominance. BAV is clinically important, not only because of valve-related complications (valve dysfunction, infective endocarditis), but also because of its association wi...
متن کاملApparent Aortic Stiffness in Children With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Pediatric pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a disease associated with high morbidity and mortality. Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction serves as an important predictor of PAH severity and outcome in both pediatric and adult populations. However, studies of ventricular interdependence have shown that PAH is further complicated by evidence of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, which may be...
متن کاملPost-stenotic aortic dilatation
Aortic stenosis is the most common valvular heart disease affecting up to 4% of the elderly population. It can be associated with dilatation of the ascending aorta and subsequent dissection. Post-stenotic dilatation is seen in patients with AS and/or aortic regurgitation, patients with a haemodynamically normal bicuspid aortic valve and following aortic valve replacement. Controversy exists as ...
