Risk factors for paravalvular leak after transcatheter aortic valve replacement [PDF]
Objective. To assess risk factors for paravalvular leak (PVL) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in a large single-center cohort, including measurement of aortic valve calcification using a reproducible method. Methods.

NOTCH signalling is indispensable for tissue homeostasis and, consequently, corruption of its normal function promotes numerous diseases, including cancer. However, the development of targeted therapies has been hampered by inefficacy and overt toxicity. Here, we show that NOTCH receptor dimerization is necessary for receptor transactivation, which has

Cyclin‐dependent kinase 13 is indispensable for normal mouse heart development
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common defect in live births. The role of cyclin‐dependent kinase (CDK13) in cardiogenesis and CHD was studied using a transgenic mouse model (Cdk13tm1b) carrying deletion of exons 3 and 4, causing loss of function.

Bicuspid Aortic Valve Stenosis and the Effect of Vitamin K2 on Calcification Using F-Sodium Fluoride Positron Emission Tomography/Magnetic Resonance:The BASIK2 Rationale and Trial Design [PDF]
BASIK2 is a prospective, double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial investigating the effect of vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7;MK7) on imaging measurements of calcification in the bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS ...

Histopathology of aortic complications in bicuspid aortic valve versus Marfan syndrome: relevance for therapy? [PDF]
Patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS) are more prone to develop aortic dilation and dissection compared to persons with a tricuspid aortic valve (TAV).

The Evolving Landscape of CHD Genetics: A Contemporary Guide to Genetic Testing and Management
ABSTRACT Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect, affecting an estimated 9.4/1000 infants globally. The genetics of CHD is complex, with most cases thought to have multifactorial aetiology, implicating both genetic and environmental factors.

Periodontal Medicine Rewired: Mechanisms Linking Periodontitis to Systemic Diseases
This review reorganizes decades of research in periodontal medicine into a multi‐dimensional framework, illustrating how periodontitis influences systemic health through at least seven interconnected mechanisms. ABSTRACT Periodontitis is now recognized not merely as a localized oral condition but as a systemic disease linked to over 70 communicable and

Disrupted Slit-Robo signalling results in membranous ventricular septum defects and bicuspid aortic valves. [PDF]
The mesenchymal cushions lining the early embryonic heart undergo complex remodelling to form the membranous ventricular septum as well as the atrioventricular and semilunar valves in later life.
