Aortopathy encompasses a spectrum of conditions predisposing to dilation, aneurysm, dissection, or rupture of the aorta and other blood vessels. Pathogeneses include connective tissue disorders, smooth muscle contraction disorders, and congenital heart disease, including bicuspid aortic valve, among others.

September 19th is Aortic Dissection Awareness Day, calling attention to the condition that famously took the life of popular actor John Ritter. Aortic dissections and aortic aneurysms lead to nearly 10,000 deaths each year. These are conditions that our… Source

Aortic Valve Replacement (AVR): AVR is a minimally invasive procedure in which the surgeon makes a small incision and allows the heart to continue to beat during the entire procedure. During a TAVR, the surgeon collapses an artificial aortic valve and inserts it through a catheter in the chest or leg.

Mitral valve leaflets seen in open position between the left ventricle and left atrium are thickened. The large aortic regurgitation jet can be seen as a mosaic jet in the left ventricular outflow tract anterior to the anterior mitral leaflet. A portion of the thickened aortic valve can be seen between the aorta and left ventricle.

BackgroundSupravalvar aortic stenosis (SVAS) is a characteristic feature of Williams–Beuren syndrome (WBS). Finally, we evaluated overlap between the genes/pathways identified here and those ascertained through larger aortic disease/trait genome‐wide association studies.

By these mechanisms, SMC-MR promotes disease progression in models of aging-associated vascular stiffness, vascular calcification, mitral and aortic valve disease, pulmonary hypertension, and heart failure. While rarely tested, when sexes were compared, the mechanisms of SMC-MR-mediated disease were sexually dimorphic.

There are no Q-waves to suggest old inferior MI, or inferior aneurysm as the etiology of the ST Elevation. Smith : "decompensation" of aortic stenosis might have initiated this entire cascade. What "initiates" the aortic stenosis cascade? The scan showed a bicuspid aortic valve with severe stenosis and coronary artery disease.

He was transferred to a childrens hospital in Fort Worth, Texas, where his diagnoses were confirmedCoarctation of the aorta, a hypoplastic aortic valve, a large VSD (ventricular septal defect), and an ASD (atrial septal defect). His aortic valve had begun thickening, requiring intervention to prevent further complications.

When there are QS-waves, one should always think about LV aneurysm, but ST to QRS ratio and T-wave to QRS ratio are far too large and not compatible with left ventricular aneurysm. Larger shunt volume means less blood exiting the left ventricle through the aortic valve and lower cardiac output.
