The Impact of Aortic Valvular Calcium on Transcatheter Heart Valve Distortion

Journal of Interventional Cardiology, 2021
Objectives. To investigate the relationship between the eccentric calcification of aortic valve and transcatheter heart valve (THV) distortion and the impact of THV distortion on echo parameters and clinical outcomes. Background. The effects of eccentric

Diagnostic and Prognostic Accuracy of Aortic Valve Calcium Scoring in Patients With Moderate-to-Severe Aortic Stenosis [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Background: Assessing the true severity of aortic stenosis (AS) remains a challenge, particularly when echocardiography yields discordant results. Recent European and American guidelines recommend measuring aortic valve calcium (AVC) by multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT) to improve this assessment.Aim: To define, using a standardized MDCT ...

AORTIC VALVE CALCIUM SCORE AND AORTIC VALVE GRADIENT

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2019
Aortic valve calcium score (AVCS) has been widely accepted as a marker for aortic stenosis severity. We sought to determine the relation between AVCS and aortic valve mean gradient (MG). A retrospective analysis of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) at our ...

High-sensitivity troponin I concentrations are a marker of an advanced hypertrophic response and adverse outcomes in patients with aortic stenosis [PDF]

, 2014
Aims: High-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (cTnI) assays hold promise in detecting the transition from hypertrophy to heart failure in aortic stenosis.

Aortic valve calcium volume as measured by native versus contrast-enhanced computer tomography and the implications for the diagnosis of severe aortic stenosis in TAVR patients with low-gradient aortic stenosis

The Egyptian Heart Journal, 2022
Background Most of TAVR centers evaluate the calcium score in contrast-enhanced (ce) CT. We compared in this study between different methodologies to measure calcium score.

Patient-specific image-based computer simulation for theprediction of valve morphology and calcium displacement after TAVI with the Medtronic CoreValve and the Edwards SAPIEN valve [PDF]

, 2016
AIMS: Our aim was to validate patient-specific software integrating baseline anatomy and biomechanical properties of both the aortic root and valve for the prediction of valve morphology and aortic leaflet calcium displacement after TAVI.

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 ...

Perspectives on the revised Ghent criteria for the diagnosis of Marfan syndrome [PDF]

, 2015
Three international nosologies have been proposed for the diagnosis of Marfan syndrome (MFS): the Berlin nosology in 1988; the Ghent nosology in 1996 (Ghent-1); and the revised Ghent nosology in 2010 (Ghent-2).
