A comparison of the diagnostic capabilities of the ratio of acceleration time to total left ventricular ejection time (AT/ET) in determining the severity of aortic stenosis in patients with bicuspid and tricuspid aortic valve: retrospective comparative study [PDF]
Objective. We aimed to compare the diagnostic capabilities of the ratio of acceleration time to total left ventricular ejection time (AT/ET) in determining the severity of aortic stenosis (AS) in patients with bicuspid and tricuspid aortic valves (AV).

Age, Sex, and Valve Phenotype Differences in Fibro‐Calcific Remodeling of Calcified Aortic Valve
Background In calcific aortic valve disease on tricuspid aortic valves (TAVs), men have higher aortic valve calcification and less fibrosis than women. However, little is known in bicuspid aortic valves (BAV).

Abnormal wave reflections and left ventricular hypertrophy late after coarctation of the aorta repair [PDF]
Patients with repaired coarctation of the aorta are thought to have increased afterload due to abnormalities in vessel structure and function. We have developed a novel cardiovascular magnetic resonance protocol that allows assessment of central ...

The living aortic valve: From molecules to function. [PDF]
The aortic valve lies in a unique hemodynamic environment, one characterized by a range of stresses (shear stress, bending forces, loading forces and strain) that vary in intensity and direction throughout the cardiac cycle.
