Echocardiographic Detection of Supravalvular Aortic Stenosis [PDF]
The echocardiographic features of supravalvular aortic stenosis of the segmental or hourglass variety is described for the first time. Utilizing a strip recorder and an M mode or sector scan the diameter of the aortic lumen is demonstrated to narrow at the stenotic area just distal to the aortic valve.

A new mouse model of elastin haploinsufficiency highlights the importance of elastin to vascular development and blood pressure regulation [PDF]
Supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) is an autosomal dominant disease resulting from elastin (ELN) haploinsufficiency. Individuals with SVAS typically develop a thickened arterial media with an increased number of elastic lamellae and smooth muscle cell (

Postcardiotomy Mechanical Circulatory Support in Two Infants with Williams’ Syndrome
Supravalvar aortic stenosis (SVAS) in patients with Williams’ syndrome is often accompanied by coronary, pulmonary, and even myocardial lesions and therefore associated with increased perioperative morbidity and mortality.

BACKGROUND/AIMS Aortic stenosis-induced chronic pressure overload leads to cardiac dysfunction and congestive heart failure. The pathophysiological mechanisms of the myocardial impairment are multifactorial and include maladaptive β-adrenergic signaling.

Abstract We report a 17‐year‐old male with supravalvular stenosis, initial failure to thrive and delayed early development, short stature, acromelia, dysmorphic facial features, hypertelorism, macrocephaly, syringomyelia, hypertension, and anxiety disorder.

Disorders of puberty and neurodevelopment: A shared etiology?
Disorders of puberty result primarily from dysregulation of gonadotropin‐releasing hormone secretion in the hypothalamus. Studies have uncovered associations between pubertal timing and neurodevelopment. This review discusses the overlap between the brain circuitry controlling puberty and behavior, highlights neurodevelopmental conditions with ...

Supravalvular aortic stenosis. Echocardiographic features. [PDF]
The echocardiographic manifestations of segmental supravalvular aortic stenosis are described in 2 patients. The diagnosis was confirmed by cardiac catheterization in both and at operation in 1. A systematic echocardiographic approach to such patients is described.

Dynamic simulation of aortic valve stenosis using a lumped parameter cardiovascular system model with flow regime dependent valve pressure loss characteristics [PDF]
Valvular heart diseases are growing concern in impoverished parts of the world, such as Southern-Africa, claiming more than 31 % of total deaths related to cardiovascular diseases. The ability to model the effects of regurgitant and obstructive lesions on the valve body can assist clinicians in preparing personalised treatments.
