Aetiology and management of hereditary aortopathy

Nature Reviews Cardiology, 2017
Aortic aneurysms are a major health problem because they account for 1-2% of all deaths in the Western population. Although abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are more prevalent than thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs), TAAs have been more exhaustively studied over the past 2 decades because they have a higher heritability and affect younger individuals ...

Thoracic aortopathies in the military patient

Journal of the Royal Army Medical Corps, 2015
Thoracic aortic disease is an important contributor to arterial disease and therefore, mortality in the UK. It has close associations with hypertension, atherosclerosis and genetic conditions such as Marfan syndrome. The cardiovascular consequences of acute aortic dissection or the rupture of a thoracic aneurysm are life threatening with a 1% increase ...

Idiopathic medial aortopathy and arteriopathy

The American Journal of Medicine, 1968
Abstract Five patients showing similar lesions in the aorta and its great branches are described. All showed patchy destruction of the elastic and muscle fibers of the media, with secondary fibrosis of the intima and sometimes of the adventitia. None had clinical or serologic evidence of syphilis.

History of Aortopathy

2017
After Maude Abbott mentioned in 1928 in her atlas of congenital heart disease that the presence of a bicuspid aortic valve appears to indicate a tendency for spontaneous rupture, the following story started: recognized were a high incidence of aortic dissection and medial intrinsic abnormalities of the aorta in the presence of a bicuspid aortic valve ...

Echogenomics: Echocardiography in Heritable Aortopathies

Current Cardiology Reports
The aim of this article is to review the current echocardiographic considerations in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with inherited aortopathies.Aortic dilation is a key feature in heritable aortopathies, and dissection is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality.

Aortopathies: Clinical Manifestation

2017
Many native, surgically or interventionally treated patients with congenital heart anomalies and genetic aortic syndromes (GAS) (e.g., Marfan, Loeys-Dietz, Ehlers-Danlos, Turner syndrome) are at risk for the development of aortic aneurysm, dissection, or rupture, resulting from inborn anomalies of the structure and metabolism of the aortic wall.
