Cardiovascular Imaging in Pregnancy: Valvulopathy, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, and Aortopathy
Pregnancy is associated with profound hemodynamic changes that are particularly impactful in patients with underlying cardiovascular disease. Management of pregnant women with cardiovascular disease requires careful evaluation that considers the well ...

ABSTRACT Angiotensin II (AngII) receptor blockers (ARBs) are medications that lower systolic blood pressure (BP) by antagonizing the AngII type 1 receptor (AT1). However, ARBs have documented or suspected therapeutic properties in diseases not caused by high BP including diabetes, muscular dystrophy, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) and ...

Bovine aortic arch with supravalvular aortic stenosis
A 5-year-old boy was diagnosed to have supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS). On evaluation of CT angiogram, there was associated bovine aortic arch (BAA).

MYH11 variants in thoracic aortic aneurysm pathophysiology: From bench to bedside
Thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections (TAAD) are often asymptomatic until rupture or dissection, which are associated with high mortality. Around 20% of cases of TAAD show familial segregation; some of these are linked to pathogenic variants in vascular smooth muscle cell contractile genes, like MYH11.

Hemodynamic Measurement Using Four-Dimensional Phase-Contrast MRI: Quantification of Hemodynamic Parameters and Clinical Applications [PDF]
Recent improvements have been made to the use of time-resolved, three-dimensional phase-contrast (PC) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which is also named four-dimensional (4D) PC-MRI or 4D flow MRI, in the investigation of spatial and temporal ...

Biomarkers of Aortopathy in Marfan Syndrome [PDF]
Marfan Syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant, genetically inherited connective tissue disorder which primarily affects the cardiovascular system, but can also have systemic manifestations. First described in 1896, MFS has a prevalence of around 1/5000 in the general population. It is becoming increasingly common to see patients with MFS in a clinical

Abstract Purpose This study investigated the effect of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) morphology and ascending aortic curvature (AAAc) bending angles on aortic hemodynamics, focusing on transvalvular jets and secondary helical flows that contribute to systolic hemodynamic stress linked to aortic complications.

Objective: We investigated the frequency of different bicuspid aortic valve disease (BAV) phenotypes,the associated valvular pathologies, and the aortopathy phenotypes, using 2-dimensional (2D) transthoracic, 2D transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and

The bicuspid aortic valve - studies on valve morphology and pathology in relation to ascending aortic dilatation and coronary artery disease [PDF]
The prevalence of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is 1 - 2% and is thereby the most common cardiac malformation. BAV is highly associated with valvular dysfunction and aortic co nditions such as ascending aortic aneurysm and aortic ...
