Relationship between Serum Gamma-glutamyl Transferase Levels with Ascending Aortic Dilatation
Eurasian Journal of Medicine, 2019 Objective: Increased serum gamma-glutamyl transferase levels (GGT) have been shown to directly promote oxidative stress. Previous studies have shown the relationship between the dilatation of the ascending aorta and oxidative stress.

Surgery for autoimmune aortitis: unanswered questions
The Cardiothoracic Surgeon, 2019 Background The aorta is rarely affected by autoimmune vasculitis, which can lead to aortic dilatation requiring surgery. Autoimmune aortitis may affect one aortic segment or the entire aorta, and in some cases, the aorta may be affected at different time

Including Aortic Valve Morphology in Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations: Initial Findings and Application to Aortic Coarctation [PDF]
, 2012 Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations quantifying thoracic aortic flow patterns have not included disturbances from the aortic valve (AoV). 80% of patients with aortic coarctation (CoA) have a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) which may cause adverse ...

Isolated aortic root dilation in homocystinuria [PDF]
Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, 2017 AbstractBackgroundVascular complications in homocystinuria have been known for many years, but there have been no reports to date on involvement of the ascending aorta.MethodsWe conducted a cross‐sectional study of patients with homocystinuria, known to a single metabolic centre, and evaluated in 2016 with a transthoracic echocardiogram.

Clinical Use of Blood Flow Analysis through 4D-Flow Imaging in Aortic Valve Disease
Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2023 Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), which affects 1% of the general population, results from the abnormal fusion of the cusps of the aortic valve. BAV can lead to the dilatation of the aorta, aortic coarctation, development of aortic stenosis (AS), and aortic ...
