Fluid dynamics of aortic root dilation in Marfan syndrome

, 2014
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

Use of a targeted, combinatorial next-generation sequencing approach for the study of bicuspid aortic valve [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common type of congenital heart disease with a population prevalence of 1-2%. While BAV is known to be highly heritable, mutations in single genes (such as GATA5 and NOTCH1) have been reported in few ...

Bicuspid aortic valve is heritable

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2004
Previous studies have established familial clustering of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), presumably indicating genetic inheritance. Our objective was to statistically test whether the segregation pattern of BAV is consistent with genetic inheritance and to obtain an estimate of the size of the genetic effect (heritability).Bicuspid aortic valve occurs in ...

Periodontal Medicine Rewired: Mechanisms Linking Periodontitis to Systemic Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
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

Recurrent infective endocarditis involving bicuspid aortic valve presenting with a rare complication: The deadly kiss

Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular Imaging, 2018
Bicuspid aortic valve, the most common congenital cardiac lesion, is frequently associated with infective endocarditis (IE), and this combination is notoriously associated with increased prevalence of periannular complications.

Bronchopulmonary arteriovenous malformation presenting as cryptogenic hemoptysis in a patient with bicuspid aortic valve

Lung India, 2020
We report the case of a 44-year-old male patient with bicuspid aortic valve, presenting with hemoptysis. Catheter angiography revealed an abnormal communication between bronchial and pulmonary artery, which remained undetected on computed tomography ...

Giant Pulmonary Artery Aneurysm in Bicuspid Pulmonary Valve

JACC: Case Reports, 2020
Bicuspid pulmonary valve is a rare echocardiographic finding, particularly if not associated with other congenital heart diseases. We report the incidental case of a severe giant pulmonary arterial aneurysm associated to bicuspid pulmonary valve in an ...

Candidate gene resequencing in a large bicuspid aortic valve-associated thoracic aortic aneurysm cohort: SMAD6 as an important contributor [PDF]

, 2017
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart defect. Although many BAV patients remain asymptomatic, at least 20% develop thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA).

Hyaluronic acid: A novel approach in regenerative/reconstructive periodontal therapy?

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Although hyaluronic acid (HA) has long been used for many medical applications, only in recent years has it gained greater popularity in the field of periodontics because of its biological effects during wound healing. Even today, most clinicians are not aware that more than one type of HA exists and that the extent of its ...
