Genome-wide analysis yields new loci associating with aortic valve stenosis
Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is the most common valvular heart disease. Here the authors identify two new AS loci that also associate with bicuspid aortic valve, aortic root diameter and/or coronary artery disease implicating both developmental ...

Pathophysiologic Consequences of Early Coarctation Stenting in a Longitudinal Porcine Model
ABSTRACT Background Novel stent technologies offer early intravascular treatment options for coarctation (COA). Mid‐to‐long‐term cardiovascular responses to early COA stent interventions are undefined. Aims We studied a porcine model of COA, with and without early stent implantation with serial dilation to adult aortic diameters, aiming to define ...

Bicuspid aortopathy occurs in approximately 50% of patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), the most prevalent congenital cardiac malformation. Although different molecular players and etiological factors (genetic and hemodynamic) have been suggested ...

Aortic Dissection After Previous Aortic Valve Replacement for Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease
The effect of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) phenotype on the future risk of type A aortic dissection is unknown. On the basis of previous data [(1)][1], we hypothesized that the risk of post–aortic valve replacement (AVR) aortic dissection might be different in BAV insufficiency versus BAV ...

Interventional therapies for chronic heart failure: An overview of recent developments
Abstract Heart failure (HF), the final manifestation of most cardiovascular diseases, has become a major global health concern, affecting millions of individuals. Despite basic drug treatments, patients present with high morbidity and mortality rates. However, recent advancements in interventional therapy have shown promising results in improving the ...

Collegiate Wrestler With a Bicuspid Aortic Valve and Aortic Dilation
Bicuspid aortic valve and aortopathy are generally considered contraindications to isometric exercise. For athletes with mild disease at low risk of adverse events, a shared decision-making approach for continued sports participation is reasonable.

Bicuspid aortic valve, a prevalent congenital malformation, predisposes individuals to severe complications. Although the condition exhibits substantial heritability, known protein-coding and common regulatory mutations explain a minority of cases.

Novel Phenotypes in Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital abnormality of the human heart, affecting approximately 1-2% of the general population (Williams, 2006). It is widely accepted that BAV is a very heterogeneous disease and that the different phenotypes of BAV disease may be caused by unique pathogenetic mechanisms.

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.
