Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is the most prevalent valvular heart disease in developed
countries and is associated with the development of severe secondary complications such …

Bicuspid aortic valve is the most common congenital heart disease and exposes patients to
an increased risk of aortic dilation and dissection. Aortic dilation is a slow, silent process …

Background In patients with bicuspid valve (BAV), ascending aorta (AAo) dilatation may be
caused by altered flow patterns and wall shear stress (WSS). These differences may explain …

Purpose To generate fully automated and fast 4D‐flow MRI‐based 3D segmentations of the
aorta using deep learning for reproducible quantification of aortic flow, peak velocity, and …

Background Wall shear stress (WSS) is a stimulus for vessel wall remodeling. Differences in
ascending aorta (AA o) hemodynamics have been reported between bicuspid aortic valve …

Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of wall shear stress (WSS) as a
predictor of ascending aorta (AAo) growth at 5 years or greater follow-up. Background Aortic …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an important tool for the clinical evaluation
of patients with cardiac and vascular diseases. Since its introduction in the late 1980s …

Advances in the diagnosis and management of congenital heart disease (CHD) have
resulted in a growing population of patients surviving well into adulthood and requiring …

Purpose To investigate age‐related changes in peak systolic aortic 3D velocity and wall
shear stress (WSS) in healthy controls and to investigate the importance of age‐matching for …

Wall shear stress (WSS) plays a governing role in vascular remodeling and a pathogenic
role in vessel wall diseases. However, little is known of the normal WSS patterns in the aorta …
