Aetiology of sudden cardiac death in sport: a histopathologist's perspective. [PDF]

, 2012
In the UK, when a young person dies suddenly, the coroner is responsible for establishing the cause of death. They will ask a consultant pathologist to carry out an autopsy in order to ascertain when, where and how that person died.

Ultrasonography Compared With Computed Tomography in Identifying Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms in Patients With Giant Cell Arteritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The objectives of this study were to evaluate the correlation and agreement between ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) in measuring ascending aorta diameter in patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA) and to investigate the development of new ascending aortic aneurysms in patients with newly diagnosed GCA.

Successful percutaneous balloon dilatation of supravalvular aortic membrane

Heart Views, 2019
Supravalvular aortic stenosis is the least common type of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Primary balloon dilatation of membranous supravalvular aortic stenosis was performed in a 10-year-old male child with a remarkable reduction in systolic

Mechanisms Underlying Aortic Dilatation in Congenital Aortic Valve Malformation [PDF]

Circulation, 1999
Background —The high incidence of aortic disease in subjects with congenital aortic valve malformations suggests a causative relationship between these 2 conditions. The histological observation in aortic dilatation/aneurysm/dissection is Erdheim cystic medial necrosis (CMN), a noninflammatory loss of smooth muscle cells (SMCs),

Fluid dynamics of aortic root dilation in Marfan syndrome

, 2014
Aortic root dilation and propensity to dissection are typical manifestations of the Marfan Syndrome (MS), a genetic defect leading to the degeneration of the elastic fibres. Dilation affects the structure of the flow and, in turn, altered flow may play a

The endothelial glycocalyx prefers albumin for evoking shear stress-induced, nitric oxide-mediated coronary dilatation [PDF]

, 2007
Background: Shear stress induces coronary dilatation via production of nitric oxide ( NO). This should involve the endothelial glycocalyx ( EG). A greater effect was expected of albumin versus hydroxyethyl starch ( HES) perfusion, because albumin seals ...

Aortic Root Dilatation in Mucopolysaccharidosis I–VII [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2016
The prevalence of aortic root dilatation (ARD) in mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) is not well documented. We investigated aortic root measurements in 34 MPS patients at the Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC). The diagnosis, treatment status, age, gender, height, weight and aortic root parameters (aortic valve annulus (AVA), sinuses of Valsalva ...

Angiotensin II blockade and aortic-root dilation in Marfan's syndrome [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Progressive enlargement of the aortic root, leading to dissection, is the main cause of premature death in patients with Marfan's syndrome. Recent data from mouse models of Marfan's syndrome suggest that aortic-root enlargement is caused by ...
