Direct aortic measurements using phase contrast allow quantitation of volumetric flow across the aortic valve and are highly reproducible and accurate compared with echocardiography. However, this ...

10 Measurements of the aortic annulus were performed in early systole, parasternal long axis view zoomed on the left ventricular outflow tract, inner edge to inner edge, at insertion points of the ...

Statistical analysis of measurement of aortic length made on 250 angiocardiograms indicates that arteriosclerosis, hypertension and syphilitic aortitis produce elongation of the aorta. Aortic length ...

Indeed, the greatest interest in obtaining more insights on the genetic contributors of aortic valve malformations lies in the opportunity to translate this knowledge in the clinical practice, aimed ...

Objective Chronic abdominal aortic occlusive disease (CAAOD) is an uncommon manifestation of antiphospholipid ... Arrhythmia and valvular diseases were ruled out using an ECG and echocardiogram. Other ...

We should also emphasize that implantation of a small prosthesis does not necessarily result in PPM, and can be perfectly adequate in a patient with small body size. In conclusion, PPM is a ...

Background Cardiogenic shock (CS) induced by severe aortic stenosis (AS) is a life-threatening condition ... In elective cases, CT scan is the gold standard to evaluate access site and annulus size.

Aortic stenosis, affecting nine million people globally, is often unnoticed as symptoms are mistaken for aging. This heart condition, common in elderly, restricts blood flow due to valve narrowing ...
