Adverse Cardiovascular Risk Profile and Increased Diurnal Salivary Cortisol in Girls With Turner Syndrome: An Exploratory Study

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Patients with Turner Syndrome (TS) and those exposed to high concentrations of glucocorticoids have a number of characteristics in common, including an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Pediatric TS patients underwent studies of salivary cortisol (SC) and cortisone (SCn), body composition, continuous glucose monitoring, vascular ...

Real-time imaging required for optimal echocardiographic assessment of aortic valve calcification [PDF]

, 2012
Introduction Aortic valve calcification (AVC), even without haemodynamic significance, may be prognostically import as an expression of generalized atherosclerosis, but techniques for echocardiographic assessment are essentially unexplored.

Non‐Invasive Prenatal Testing by Cell‐Free DNA (cfNIPT) for Detecting Turner Syndrome With Mosaicism and Structural Variants—Prenatal Findings and Postnatal Outcomes

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Turner Syndrome (TS) is a sex chromosomal disorder associated with karyotype heterogeneity. Although TS can be associated with severe prenatal findings, most often linked to the 45, X karyotype, the majority of TS fetuses have no overt phenotype, resulting in delayed diagnosis and management.

Aortic valve and aortic arch pathology after coarctation repair [PDF]

, 2003
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the incidence of clinical problems related to a bicuspid valve (aortic stenosis and regurgitation) and the incidence of ascending aorta and aortic arch pathology in combination with coarctation repair.

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).

Bicuspid Aortic Valve

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2014
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease is the most common congenital cardiac defect, with a prevalence estimated between 0.5% and 2% [(1,2)][1]. The earliest description of BAV is attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, who sketched the bicuspid variant of the aortic valve over 400 years ago [(3)][2].

Management of Cardiovascular Health Issues in Turner Syndrome: Expert Insights and Expanded Recommendations From the 2024 Guideline Development Team

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Turner syndrome (TS) is frequently complicated by congenital heart disease (CHD). While left‐sided lesions such as bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and coarctation of the aorta are the most common structural heart lesions in TS, other anomalies, such as aortic arch malformations, hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), persistent left superior vena

Bicuspid aortic valve infective endocarditis and aortic root abscess presenting initially as splenic infarctions

Proceedings of Singapore Healthcare, 2022
Infective endocarditis (IE) commonly complicates bicuspid aortic valve. We report an uncommon case of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) IE with aortic root abscess (ARA), presenting initially with abdominal pain due to splenic infarcts, delaying prompt ...
