Background: Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is associated with progressive aortic dilation. Studies in aortopathies have shown a correlation between increased aortic stiffness and aortic dilation.

Abstract Background Sporadic venous malformation (VM) is associated with the hyperactivating p.L914F mutation in TIE2, a receptor tyrosine kinase essential for vascular development. This mutation is not found in hereditary VM, suggesting incompatibility with life when expressed during early vascular development.

Balloon dilatation and stenting for aortic coarctation: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Background—There is no systematic assessment of available evidence on effectiveness and comparative effectiveness of balloon dilatation and stenting for aortic coarctation. Methods and Results—We systematically searched 4 online databases to identify and

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Aortic Coarctation in Neonates and Infants: Balloon Angioplasty or Surgical treatment?
Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is a discrete stenosis of the proximal thoracic aorta. The common clinical pattern is congestive heart failure in infancy.

Abstract The immune system has long been recognized as a key driver in the progression of heart failure (HF). However, clinical trials targeting immune effectors have consistently failed to improve patient outcome across different HF aetiologies. The activation of the immune system in HF is complex, involving a broad network of pro‐inflammatory and ...

The role of aortic compliance in determination of coarctation severity: Lumped parameter modeling, in vitro study and clinical evaluation [PDF]
Early detection and accurate estimation of the extent of coarctation of the aorta (COA) is critical to long-term outcome. Peak-to-peak trans-coarctation pressure gradient (PKdP) higher than 20 mmHg is an indication for interventional/surgical repair ...

The effects of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors on the ‘forgotten’ right ventricle
Abstract With the progress in diagnosis, treatment and imaging techniques, there is a growing recognition that impaired right ventricular (RV) function profoundly affects the prognosis of patients with heart failure (HF), irrespective of their left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).

The value of chest x-ray in the diagnosis of aortic coarctation
Aortic coarctation is a form of generalized arteriopathy and is not limited to narrowing of the aorta. It can develop as a local stenosis, or as an extended one, in the form of hypoplasia of the aortic segment [1].The symptoms and signs depend on the ...
