Macrophage lineages in heart valve development and disease.
Heterogeneous macrophage lineages are present in the aortic and mitral valves of the heart during development and disease. These populations include resident macrophages of embryonic origins and recruited monocyte-derived macrophages prevalent in disease.

Natural history observations in moderate aortic stenosis
Background The natural history of patients with moderate aortic stenosis (AS) is poorly understood. We aimed to determine the long-term outcomes of patients with moderate AS.

Reversing Blood Flows Act through klf2a to Ensure Normal Valvulogenesis in the Developing Heart [PDF]
Heart valve anomalies are some of the most common congenital heart defects, yet neither the genetic nor the epigenetic forces guiding heart valve development are well understood.

BackgroundIn asymptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction, we sought to assess the incremental prognostic value of resting valvuloarterial impedence (Zva) and left ventricular global longitudinal ...

Design and Fabrication of Three-Dimensional Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering of Human Heart Valves [PDF]
We developed a new fabrication technique for 3-dimensional scaffolds for tissue engineering of human heart valve tissue. A human aortic homograft was scanned with an X-ray computer tomograph.

Dynamic Views of Structure and Function during Heart Morphogenesis [PDF]
Congenital heart defects remain the most common birth defect in humans, occurring in over 1% of live births. The high prevalence of cardiac malformations can be partially attributed to limited knowledge regarding the embryonic roots of the disease.
