Evolving Surgical Approaches to Bicuspid Aortic Valve Associated Aortopathy
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2019 Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital cardiac pathology which results from the fusion of two adjacent aortic valve cusps. It is associated with dilatation of the aorta, known as bicuspid valve-associated aortopathy or bicuspid ...

Rationale for the Cytogenomics of Cardiovascular Malformations Consortium: A Phenotype Intensive Registry Based Approach [PDF]
, 2015 Cardiovascular malformations (CVMs) are the most common birth defect, occurring in 1%-5% of all live births. Although the genetic contribution to CVMs is well recognized, the genetic causes of human CVMs are identified infrequently.

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017 BackgroundMarfan syndrome (MFS) is caused by mutations in the gene encoding fibrillin‐1 (FBN1); however, the mechanisms through which fibrillin‐1 deficiency causes MFS‐associated aortopathy are uncertain. Recently, attention was focused on the hypothesis

TGFβ (transforming growth factor-β) blockade induces a human-like disease in a nondissecting mouse model of abdominal aortic aneurysm [PDF]
, 2017 Objective-Current experimental models of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) do not accurately reproduce the major features of human AAA. We hypothesized that blockade of TGF beta (transforming growth factor-beta) activity-a guardian of vascular integrity ...
