ABSTRACT Vascular Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (vEDS) is a hereditary connective tissue disorder caused by heterozygous pathogenic variants in COL3A1. European studies have shown that celiprolol may reduce the risk of life‐threatening vascular events, but outcomes in non‐European populations and the therapy's psychological impact remain unclear. We conducted

ABSTRACT Congenital heart disease (CHD) and dermatologic conditions such as lymphedema and acquired melanocytic nevi (AMN) are common in Turner Syndrome (TS). We hypothesized that abnormalities of cranial neural crest cell derivatives drive the skin and heart manifestations of TS. We conducted joint cardiac and skin examinations of volunteers at a 2023

Cancer Risk in Marfan Syndrome: A Swedish Population‐Based Cohort Study
The cancer risk in Marfan syndrome, an autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder, largely remains to be explored. In this population‐based matched cohort study of 1544 Swedish patients, the overall cancer risk in adults with Marfan syndrome showed no significant increase, except for the risk of endocrine tumours with a nearly threefold increase ...

Postprandial Changes in Thoracic Aortic Flow Detected by 4D Flow MRI May Influence Study Results
ABSTRACT Background While there is a growing body of data using 4D flow MRI to distinguish between normal and abnormal blood flow values in the thoracic aorta, the extent of physiological variation or lack thereof is potentially undervalued. Physiological processes such as postprandial changes to hemodynamics might influence data, normal values, follow‐

Fourier Shell Analysis: k‐Space‐Based Metrics for Assessing Super‐Resolution in 4D Flow MRI
ABSTRACT Purpose To support the emerging field of super‐resolution (SR) in 4D flow MRI by proposing Fourier shell analysis to disentangle resolution enhancement from denoising effects during evaluation. Methods A thoracic aortic 4D flow MRI dataset was synthesized with various degrees of stenosis, providing ground truth flow fields generated using ...
