Valve-Sparing Operation in Patients with Aortic Root Aneurysm
Background. Aortic root aneurysm is rare but life-threatening disease which affects not only aortic wall, but aortic valve as well. Valve-sparing operation was developed by Tirone David and gave a chance to save native aortic valve in patients with ...

Genetic and molecular architecture of familial hypercholesterolemia
Abstract Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death globally. Despite its important risk of premature atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease, familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is still largely underdiagnosed worldwide. It is one of the most frequently inherited diseases due to mutations, for autosomal dominant forms, in ...

Image-based immersed boundary model of the aortic root [PDF]
Each year, approximately 300,000 heart valve repair or replacement procedures are performed worldwide, including approximately 70,000 aortic valve replacement surgeries in the United States alone. This paper describes progress in constructing anatomically and physiologically realistic immersed boundary (IB) models of the dynamics of the aortic root and
