Novel indices in calcific aortic valve stenosis.
T wo main causes of aortic stenosis are rheumatic involvement of the valve, observed primarily in developing countries, and calcification of the valve (calcific aortic stenosis, CAS) without the apparent involvement of an infective process. The latter is thought of as a chronically progressive “degenerative” disease of calcium deposition and subclinical inflammation akin in nature to atheroscle...
متن کاملIntroduction to aortic stenosis.
Aortic stenosis is perhaps the most common of all valvular heart diseases in the developed nations of the world. Once primarily caused by rheumatic fever, the most common pathogenesis today is an active inflammatory process with some features that are similar to atherosclerosis. Because of this shift, the age at onset of severe obstruction has changed from the sixth decade 50 years ago to the e...
متن کاملCarotid artery and aortic stiffness evaluation in aortic stenosis.
BACKGROUND In aortic stenosis (AS), the combination of risk factors can progressively lead to an increased arterial rigidity, which can be evaluated by the carotid artery and aortic stiffness (β index). The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between carotid and aortic β index, left ventricular (LV) function, plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) level, and symptoms in patien...
متن کاملPrecision Medicine: Tools to Define CKD Mechanisms
Background: Precision medicine, identifying the right treatment for the right patient at the right time, must be applied in glomerular diseases to advance the field beyond the current “one size fits all” approach. Comprehensive genetic data from patient cohorts and animal model systems are presently generated for many disorders, including those of the glomerulus. The challenge of precision medi...
متن کاملSUPRAVALVAR 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...
