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 …

Objectives This study sought to assess the predictive value of wall shear stress (WSS) for
colocalized ascending aorta (AAo) growth rate (GR) in patients with bicuspid aortic valve …

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 …

The bicuspid aortic valve, a kind of heart disease that comes from parents, has been paid
attention around the world. Although most bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) patients will suffer …

OBJECTIVES Current risk assessment strategies in type B aortic dissection are focused on
anatomic parameters, although haemodynamic abnormalities that result in false lumen (FL) …

Aortic aneurysm is associated with aberrant blood flow and wall shear stress (WSS). This
can be studied by coupling magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with computational fluid …

Aortic aneurysm is a cardiovascular disease related to the alteration of the aortic tissue. It is
an important cause of death in developed countries, especially for older patients. The …

Purpose Current intervention guidelines for bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) associated
ascending aorta (AAo) dilatation are suboptimal predictors of clinical outcome. There is …

Objective: To assess the relationship between regional wall shear stress (WSS) and
oscillatory shear index (OSI) and aortic dilation in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) …
