Aortic root stiffness affects the kinematics of bioprosthetic aortic valves [PDF]

Interactive CardioVascular and Thoracic Surgery, 2016
In this study, the influence of aortic root distensibility on the haemodynamic parameters and valve kinematics of a bioprosthetic aortic valve was investigated in a controlled in vitro experiment.An Edwards INTUITY Elite 21 mm sutureless aortic valve (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA, USA) was inserted in three transparent aortic root phantoms with ...

P93 ARE HEMODYNAMIC MEASURES ASSOCIATED WITH FRAILTY IN ELDERLY PATIENTS UNDERGOING TRANSCATHETER AORTIC VALVE IMPLANTATION?

Artery Research, 2017
Background: Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is common in the elderly and is associated with high morbidity and mortality, and leads to functional decline. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible relation between aortic stiffness, AS and frailty ...

Menopause and accelerated aortic stiffness

Maturitas
The menopausal transition is widely believed to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, based on the notion that estrogen is cardioprotective in women. While aortic stiffness is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease, it has been unclear whether this risk increases during menopause.This study aimed to determine the association between ...

Hybrid debranching and TEVAR of the aortic arch off-pump, in re-do patients with complicated chronic type-A aortic dissections : a critical report [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Patients suffering from acute type A aortic dissection undergo replacement of the ascending aorta, the proximal hemiarch or complete aortic arch, depending on the extent of the individual pathology.

Mechanisms and Subclinical Consequences of Aortic Stiffness [PDF]

Hypertension, 2017
The number of published articles on PubMed with arterial stiffness or aortic stiffness in the title during the past 20 years exceeds 4000 articles published, with more than one-half published in the past 5 years (see Figure). The studies published on the topic of arterial stiffness span the full translational continuum from basic mechanistic studies in

Aortic and systemic arterial stiffness responses to acute exercise in patients with small abdominal aortic aneurysms

, 2019
Objective/background: Elevated arterial stiffness is a characteristic of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and is associated with AAA growth and cardiovascular mortality.

Increased mitochondrial NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) expression in aging is a causative factor in aortic stiffening

Redox Biology, 2019
Aging is characterized by increased aortic stiffness, an early, independent predictor and cause of cardiovascular disease. Oxidative stress from excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) production increases with age.
