Aortic valve stenosis is a common valvular problem in the aging population. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a popular treatment alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement for frail elderly individuals with symptomatic severe ...

Dynamic simulation of aortic valve stenosis using a lumped parameter cardiovascular system model with flow regime dependent valve pressure loss characteristics [PDF]
Valvular heart diseases are growing concern in impoverished parts of the world, such as Southern-Africa, claiming more than 31 % of total deaths related to cardiovascular diseases. The ability to model the effects of regurgitant and obstructive lesions on the valve body can assist clinicians in preparing personalised treatments.

ProtoASNet: Dynamic Prototypes for Inherently Interpretable and Uncertainty-Aware Aortic Stenosis Classification in Echocardiography [PDF]
Aortic stenosis (AS) is a common heart valve disease that requires accurate and timely diagnosis for appropriate treatment. Most current automatic AS severity detection methods rely on black-box models with a low level of trustworthiness, which hinders clinical adoption. To address this issue, we propose ProtoASNet, a prototypical network that directly

Calcific aortic stenosis [PDF]
Calcific aortic stenosis (AS) is the most prevalent heart valve disorder in developed countries. It is characterized by progressive fibro-calcific remodelling and thickening of the aortic valve leaflets that, over years, evolve to cause severe obstruction to cardiac outflow.

Artesunate Inhibits Neointimal Hyperplasia by Promoting IRF4 Associated Macrophage Polarization
This study shows that macrophage interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) improved arterial injury‐induced neointimal hyperplasia by promoting of M2 polarization via up‐regulating krüppel‐like factor 4 (KLF4) in rodent and nonhuman primate models. Notably, artesunate is identified as a potent inducer of IRF4 in macrophages, and proposed as a promising ...

A New Semi-supervised Learning Benchmark for Classifying View and Diagnosing Aortic Stenosis from Echocardiograms [PDF]
Semi-supervised image classification has shown substantial progress in learning from limited labeled data, but recent advances remain largely untested for clinical applications. Motivated by the urgent need to improve timely diagnosis of life-threatening heart conditions, especially aortic stenosis, we develop a benchmark dataset to assess semi ...

Endothelial TRIM35‐Regulated MMP10 Release Exacerbates Calcification of Vascular Grafts
Arterial bypass graft is routinely used for the patients with coronary artery infarction, but is limited by progressive vascular restenosis and occlusion occurs, in which vascular calcification is a key issue. Endothelial TRIM35 can protect the isograft vascular from calcification by activating RelB ubiquitination that inhibits MMP10 secretion ...
