BackgroundComplex aortic plaque (CAP) is a potential embolic source in patients with cryptogenic stroke (CS). From 2293 studies, 45 were reviewed for CAP imaging biomarker criteria in patients with acute CS (N=37 TEE; N=9 CTA; N=6 magnetic resonance imaging). The most common CAP imaging biomarker was ≥4 mm plaque thickness.

Background Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is one of the most prevalent valvular diseases and is the second most common cause for cardiac surgery. Pearson correlation analysis was used to investigate associations between the diagnostic biomarkers and the immune cell types. However, the mechanism of CAVD remains unclear.

Our perspectives on aortic stenosis (AS) are changing. Novel approaches are developing to address this through: (1) screening with circulating biomarkers; (2) development of drugs to slow disease progression and (3) early valve intervention guided by medical imaging. Currently, invasive intervention is the only treatment for AS.

Larger shunt volume means less blood exiting the left ventricle through the aortic valve and lower cardiac output. The larger the size of the defect the larger the shunt.
