Pitfalls and Tips in the Assessment of Aortic Stenosis by Transthoracic Echocardiography

Diagnostics, 2023
Aortic stenosis (AS) is a valvular heart disease that significantly contributes to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. The condition is characterized by calcification and thickening of the aortic valve leaflets, resulting in a narrowed ...

Association between red blood cell distribution width and aortic valve sclerosis

Medicine Science, 2020
RDW is a simple and inexpensive parameter, which reflects the degree of anisocytosis. Evidence from recent studies indicates that anisocytosis is common in most of the cardiovascular diseases and is related to their prognosis.

Pathological Investigation of Congenital Bicuspid Aortic Valve Stenosis, Compared with Atherosclerotic Tricuspid Aortic Valve Stenosis and Congenital Bicuspid Aortic Valve Regurgitation [PDF]

, 2016
Congenital bicuspid aortic valve (CBAV) is the main cause of aortic stenosis (AS) in young adults. However, the histopathological features of AS in patients with CBAV have not been fully investigated.We examined specimens of aortic valve leaflets ...

Inflammation and Reduced Parasympathetic Cardiac Modulation in Aortic-Valve Sclerosis

Applied Sciences, 2019
Aortic-valve sclerosis increases cardiovascular mortality risk and precedes aortic-valve stenosis, but its mechanisms are not well understood. The purpose of this study was to compare the cardiac autonomic modulation and inflammation markers between ...

Validation of the severity index by cardiac catheterization and Doppler echocardiography in patients with aortic sclerosis and stenosis

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2006
The severity index is a new echocardiographic measure that is thought to be an accurate indicator of aortic leaflet pathology in patients with AS. However, it has not been validated against cardiac catheterization or Doppler echocardiographic measures of
