Aortic dilatation and outcome in women with Turner syndrome

Heart, 2018
Background Women with Turner syndrome (TS) are at increased risk of aortic dissection, which is related to ascending aortic diameter. However, the relation between aortic diameter and outcome is not well determined. This study evaluates the prevalence of

Abdominal Aortic Dilatation in Japanese Residents

International Journal of Angiology, 1999
The correlation between abdominal aortic dilatation and arteriosclerotic risk factors was studied in 2514 Japanese residents (947 men, 1567 women, mean age 70 years old). The aortic diameter was measured by ultrasound and an aortic dilatation was defined as above 30 mm in diameter, including abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).

On the prospect of serum exosomal miRNA profiling and protein biomarkers for the diagnosis of ascending aortic dilatation in patients with bicuspid and tricuspid aortic valve.

International Journal of Cardiology, 2018
BACKGROUND To determine the impact of circulating miRNA and protein activity on the severity of ascending aortic dilatation in patients with bicuspid (BAV) and tricuspid aortic valve (TAV).

Aortic dilatation in patients with bicuspid aortic valve

Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2006
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.

Aortic Valve Dilation

2009
In aortic stenosis the valve is most often bicuspid with a single fused commissure, either the intercoronary or right and noncoronary commissure. Less frequently, it is unicommissural, with an orifice at the left and noncoronary commissure (1). The course of left-sided disease is quite different from that of the right side.

Approach to the dilated aortic root

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2004
The dilated aortic root is often completely asymptomatic and found incidentally on routine imaging studies such as chest radiograph, echocardiography, chest computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging. The dilated aortic root may be associated with underlying aortic valve abnormalities as seen with bicuspid aortic valve.

Aortic root dilation in acromegaly

BMJ Case Reports
Previous studies have linked persistent elevations in growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) to cardiac abnormalities including aortic root dilation. Guidelines in the management of this dilation below the size recommended for surgery have not been well defined but follow-up and intervention when appropriate could be life-saving ...

Clinical significance of aortic graft dilation

Journal of Vascular Surgery, 1991
To determine if there is a relationship between aortic graft dilation and graft complications, 443 serial ultrasound studies performed on 106 patients were analyzed. Of 443 studies, 243 were done retrospectively on 59 patients from 3 to 144 months (mean, 38 months) after graft implantation.

Aortic Root Dilatation in Athletic Population

Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2012
Remodeling of the aortic root may be expected to occur in athletes as a consequence of hemodynamic overload associated with exercise training; however, there are few data reporting its presence or extent. This review reports the current knowledge regarding the prevalence, upper limits, and clinical significance of aortic remodeling induced by athletic ...

Progressive aortic dilation after aortic valve replacement

Surgical Practice, 2012
AimAscending aortic dilation is not an uncommon complication following aortic valve replacement (AVR). However, the clinical features of ascending aortic dilation after AVR are rarely described. The etiologies responsible for the development of progressive aortic dilation in such patients are not fully understood.Patients and MethodsFrom January 2006 ...
