Proximal aortic stiffening in Turner patients may be present before dilation can be detected : a segmental functional MRI study [PDF]

, 2017
Background: To study segmental structural and functional aortic properties in Turner syndrome (TS) patients. Aortic abnormalities contribute to increased morbidity and mortality of women with Turner syndrome.

Diseases of the thoracic aorta in women [PDF]

Journal of Vascular Surgery, 2013
Women have now equaled or surpassed men in the number of cardiovascular deaths per year in published statistics. In 2006, according to the National Center for Health Statistics and the Center for Disease Control, cardiovascular disease was the cause of death in 428,906 women (35% of all deaths in women) and in 394,840 men (33% of all deaths in men).

Vascular Smooth Muscle-Specific Progerin Expression Accelerates Atherosclerosis and Death in a Mouse Model of Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Progerin, an aberrant protein that accumulates with age, causes the rare genetic disease Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS). Patients who have HGPS exhibit ubiquitous progerin expression, accelerated aging and atherosclerosis, and ...

A rare case of acyanotic congenital heart disease, large patent ductus arteriosus with pre-ductal coarctation of descending thoracic aorta with patent ductus arteriosus closure and extra anatomical bypass grafting

Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2017
We report a case of 18-year-old female patient with large patent ductus arteriosus (PDA)-preductal coarctation of descending thoracic aorta. She underwent large PDA closure with a prosthetic graft from ascending aorta to descending thoracic aorta by mid ...

Polydatin ameliorates ovalbumin‐induced asthma in a rat model through NCOA4‐mediated ferroautophagy and ferroptosis pathway

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In this research, a rat model of asthma was created using OVA, and polydatin served as an intervention. By inhibiting ferroautophagy mediated by NCOA4 and averting ferroptosis, polydatin has been demonstrated to reduce asthma. This work presents new ideas for investigating the mechanism of polydatin's ability to alleviate asthma, in addition to ...

Contractile force is enhanced in Aortas from pendrin null mice due to stimulation of angiotensin II-dependent signaling. [PDF]

, 2014
Pendrin is a Cl-/HCO3- exchanger expressed in the apical regions of renal intercalated cells. Following pendrin gene ablation, blood pressure falls, in part, from reduced renal NaCl absorption.

GENERAL CARDIOLOGY: Diseases of the thoracic aorta [PDF]

Heart, 2001
New imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE), and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) have improved the detection of diseases of the aorta. These techniques not only provide a better visualisation of the aorta but also a better understanding of the pathogenesis of aortic ...

Acute dissection of the thoracic aorta [PDF]

BMJ, 1995
Untreated patients with acute dissection of the thoracic aorta have a mortality of more than 1% per hour.1 Lowering the systolic blood pressure reduces the risk of extension, so every patient who might have a dissection should receive antihypertensive treatment while waiting for a definitive diagnosis by imaging.
