Increased calcification by erythrophagocytosis in aortic valvular interstitial cells
Abstract Background Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) progresses over time to severe aortic stenosis and eventually heart failure. Recent evidence indicates that intraleaflet haemorrhage (ILH) strongly promotes CAVD progression. However, it remains poorly understood how it mechanistically contributes to valvular calcification.

BackgroundIn patients with bicuspid valve (BAV), ascending aorta (AAo) dilatation may be caused by altered flow patterns and wall shear stress (WSS). These differences may explain different aortic dilatation morphotypes.

Fluid dynamics of aortic root dilation in Marfan syndrome
Aortic root dilation and propensity to dissection are typical manifestations of the Marfan Syndrome (MS), a genetic defect leading to the degeneration of the elastic fibres. Dilation affects the structure of the flow and, in turn, altered flow may play a

Targeted neonatal echocardiography showed good agreement with cardiology‐performed studies in detecting significant congenital heart disease. Most missed lesions were minor, highlighting both the value of TNE in neonatal care and the need for continued training to optimize diagnostic accuracy.

ROBO4 Variants Predispose Individuals to Bicuspid Aortic Valve and Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a common congenital heart defect (population incidence, 1–2%)1–3 that frequently presents with ascending aortic aneurysm (AscAA)4.

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.

Objectives To assess fetal proximal and distal transverse aortic arch and aortic isthmus (AI) diameters between 19 and 34 weeks of gestation. Methods A prospective cross‐sectional descriptive study was performed in 466 low‐risk pregnancies between 19 and 34 weeks of gestation. Proximal transverse aortic arch (PTAA), distal transverse aortic arch (DTAA),

OBJECTIVES Aortic valve-sparing root replacement is an excellent treatment option for patients with intact tricuspid aortic valves. However, the durability in patients with bicuspid aortic valves is still a matter of debate.
