High prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in children and adolescents with Williams-Beuren syndrome [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND: A high incidence of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors has been reported in adults with Williams-Beuren syndrome (WS). However, the prevalence of these factors in children and adolescents with WS is unknown. Therefore, the purpose of this study

A Case Report of the Shone Syndrome in Association with Coronary Abnormality
Research in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2020 Shone syndrome or complex is defined by sequential left-sided heart stenosis, including supravalvular mitral membrane, valvular mitral stenosis (MS) by a parachute mitral valve, subaortic stenosis, and aortic coarctation. It is a rare entity which occurs

Effects of stenotic aortic valve on the left heart hemodynamics: a fluid-structure-electrophysiology approach [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The aortic valve is a three-leaflet passive structure that, driven by pressure differences between the left ventricle and the aorta, opens and closes during the heartbeat to ensure the correct stream direction and flow rate. In elderly individuals or because of particular pathologies, the valve leaflets can stiffen thus impairing the valve functioning ...

Vortex dynamics and transport phenomena in stenotic aortic models using Echo-PIV [PDF]
, 2020 In this work, we propose a novel approach which combines ultrasound with Eulerian and Lagrangian descriptors, to analyse blood flow dynamics and fluid transport in stenotic aortic models with morphology, mechanical and optical properties close to those of real arteries.

Definitions, 2020 Supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) is a heart defect that develops before birth. This defect is a narrowing (stenosis) of the large blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body (the aorta).

Cardiac catheterization under echocardiographic control in a pregnant woman [PDF]
, 1981 A 22 year old woman had signs of rheumatic mitral and aortic valve disease early in pregnancy. Cardiac catheterization was performed during her third month of pregnancy under two-dimensional echocardiographic control without the use of ionizing radiation.

Segmentation of Aortic Vessel Tree in CT Scans with Deep Fully Convolutional Networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Automatic and accurate segmentation of aortic vessel tree (AVT) in computed tomography (CT) scans is crucial for early detection, diagnosis and prognosis of aortic diseases, such as aneurysms, dissections and stenosis. However, this task remains challenges, due to the complexity of aortic vessel tree and amount of CT angiography data. In this technical

Classical supravalvar aortic stenosis and peripheral pulmonary stenosis [PDF]
, 2014 Supravalvar aortic stenosis as well as peripheral pulmonary stenosis are rare forms of congenital heart disease, which occur, however, relatively frequently in association.

Expert consensus recommendations on the cardiogenetic care for patients with thoracic aortic disease and their first-degree [PDF]
, 2018 Background: Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a potentially life-threatening disorder with a strong genetic component. The number of genes implicated in TAA has increased exponentially over the last decade.
