SUPRAVALVAR AORTIC STENOSIS IN CHILDREN REPORT OF THIRTEEN CASES
During 15 years from 1975 to 1990, thirteen cases of supravalvar aortic stenosis were admitted at the pediatrics department of Shahid Rajai Heart Hospital, Tehran. All patients were subjected to cardiac catheterization and a angiocardiography. Patients ranged in age from 3.5 years to 14 years with a mean of 8.7 years. Seventy seven percent of childen were male. Eight cases (61.5%) had Wil...
متن کاملA ventricular-vascular coupling model in presence of aortic stenosis.
In patients with aortic stenosis, the left ventricular afterload is determined by the degree of valvular obstruction and the systemic arterial system. We developed an explicit mathematical model formulated with a limited number of independent parameters that describes the interaction among the left ventricle, an aortic stenosis, and the arterial system. This ventricular-valvular-vascular (V(3))...
متن کاملComputed Tomography of Aortic Wall Calcifications in Aortic Dissection Patients
OBJECTIVES To investigate the frequency of aortic calcifications at the outer edge of the false lumen and the frequency of fully circular aortic calcifications in a consecutive series of patients with aortic dissection who underwent contrast-enhanced CT. METHODS The study population compromised of 69 consecutive subjects aged 60 years and older with a contrast-enhanced CT scan demonstrating a...
متن کاملVascular calcifications in homozygote familial hypercholesterolemia.
BACKGROUND Patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (hmzFH) attributable to LDL receptor gene mutations have shown a remarkable increase in survival over the last 20 years. Early onset coronary heart disease (CHD) and calcific aortic valve stenosis are the major complications of this disorder. We now report extensive premature calcification of the aorta in patients with hmzFH. M...
متن کاملQuantification of Aortic Valve Calcifications Detected During Lung Cancer-Screening CT Helps Stratify Subjects Necessitating Echocardiography for Aortic Stenosis Diagnosis
No study has been published on aortic valve calcification (AVC) extent at lung cancer screening low-dose CT (LDCT) and its relationship with aortic stenosis (AS). The purpose of this study was to estimate the cutoff value of AVC on LDCT for detecting AS in asymptomatic Asian subjects. Six thousand three hundred thirty-eight subjects (mean age, 55.9 years ± 8.6) self-referred to health-promotion...
