Novel mutation in ELN gene causes cardiac abnormalities and inguinal hernia: case report
Background Elastin-driven genetic diseases are a group of complex diseases driven by elastin protein insufficiency and dominant-negative production of aberrant protein, including supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) and autosomal dominant cutis laxa ...

A coupling strategy for a 3D-1D model of the cardiovascular system to study the effects of pulse wave propagation on cardiac function [PDF]
The impact of increased stiffness and pulsatile load on the circulation and their influence on heart performance have been documented not only for cardiovascular events but also for ventricular dysfunctions. For this reason, computer models of cardiac electromechanics (EM) have to integrate effects of the circulatory system on heart function to be ...

SUPRAVALVULAR AORTIC STENOSIS ASSSOCIATED WITHAORTIC ANEURYSM
A 32-year-old female patient had supravalvular aortic stenosis associated with aortic aneurysm. Supravalvular location of aortic stenosis within this rare combination of lesions has not, as far as we are aware, been reported. From the pathological findings, the nozzle action of stenosis is presumed to be an important causative factor in the growth of ...

Familial hypercholesterolemia supravalvular aortic stenosis and extensive atherosclerosis
Familial hypercholesterolemia is an autosomally dominant disorder caused by various mutations in low-density lipoprotein receptor genes. This can lead to premature coronary atherosclerosis and cardiac-related death.

The Influence of the Aortic Root Geometry on Flow Characteristics of a Bileaflet Mechanical Heart Valve [PDF]
Bileaflet mechanical heart valves have one of the most successful valve designs for more than 30 years. These valves are often used for aortic valve replacement, where the geometry of the aortic root sinuses may vary due to valvular disease and affect valve performance. Common geometrical sinus changes may be due to valve stenosis and insufficiency. In

Genetic and Developmental Basis of Cardiovascular Malformations [PDF]
Cardiovascular malformations (CVMs) are the most common birth defect, occurring in 1% to 5% of all live births. Genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors all influence the development of CVMs, and an improved understanding of the causation of CVMs ...
