Case report of sudden death in a child with Williams syndrome following administration of anaesthesia [PDF]
Williams syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by distinctive personality traits, facial features (so called “elfin face”) and cardiac abnormalities, of which supravalvular aortic stenosis is the most common lesion found. The cause is a

Recent advancements in the next‐generation sequencing have illuminated the occurrence of multiple genetic diagnoses (MGD). While exome sequencing has provided insights, genome sequencing (GS), the most comprehensive diagnostic tool, remains underexplored for studying MGD prevalence.

Novel mutation in ELN gene causes cardiac abnormalities and inguinal hernia: case report
Background Elastin-driven genetic diseases are a group of complex diseases driven by elastin protein insufficiency and dominant-negative production of aberrant protein, including supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) and autosomal dominant cutis laxa ...

Detecting Heart Disease from Multi-View Ultrasound Images via Supervised Attention Multiple Instance Learning [PDF]
Aortic stenosis (AS) is a degenerative valve condition that causes substantial morbidity and mortality. This condition is under-diagnosed and under-treated. In clinical practice, AS is diagnosed with expert review of transthoracic echocardiography, which produces dozens of ultrasound images of the heart.

A coupling strategy for a 3D-1D model of the cardiovascular system to study the effects of pulse wave propagation on cardiac function [PDF]
The impact of increased stiffness and pulsatile load on the circulation and their influence on heart performance have been documented not only for cardiovascular events but also for ventricular dysfunctions. For this reason, computer models of cardiac electromechanics (EM) have to integrate effects of the circulatory system on heart function to be ...

SUPRAVALVULAR AORTIC STENOSIS ASSSOCIATED WITHAORTIC ANEURYSM
A 32-year-old female patient had supravalvular aortic stenosis associated with aortic aneurysm. Supravalvular location of aortic stenosis within this rare combination of lesions has not, as far as we are aware, been reported. From the pathological findings, the nozzle action of stenosis is presumed to be an important causative factor in the growth of ...

The Influence of the Aortic Root Geometry on Flow Characteristics of a Bileaflet Mechanical Heart Valve [PDF]
Bileaflet mechanical heart valves have one of the most successful valve designs for more than 30 years. These valves are often used for aortic valve replacement, where the geometry of the aortic root sinuses may vary due to valvular disease and affect valve performance. Common geometrical sinus changes may be due to valve stenosis and insufficiency. In
