This multicenter study sheds more light on sex-based differences in aortic stenosis (AS) and argues the benefits of using ...

As the stenosis progresses, a resting gradient develops across the aortic valve. The left ventricle responds by developing hypertrophy to overcome the stenosis. The increased wall thickness helps ...

across the aortic valve from the aorta into the left ventricle during diastole. This abnormal backflow of blood leads to pathologic changes in the heart — remodeling — in order to maintain ...

The aortic valve sits between the heart's main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) and the aorta (the large blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the body). Narrowing of this valve ...

Left ventricular outflow obstruction most commonly occurs at the aortic valve itself; however, it can occur above the aortic valve (supravalvular) as in William’s syndrome or below the aortic ...

CHANDIGARH: 87 years old, Tara Chand (name changed), resident of Panchkula, had undergone a non-surgical procedure for aortic ...

Objective In this study, the impact of regular training on left ventricle morphology in a group of athletes with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) was evaluated. Design Longitudinal cohort study. A group of ...

As your heart beats, it pumps blood from the left ventricle through the aortic valve and into the aorta, your body’s largest artery. The aortic valve is made up of three triangular flaps of ...

Note the heavily calcified aortic valve (Ao; see arrow) and significant left ventricular hypertrophy.RV=right ventricle; LV=left ventricle; LA=left atrium Doppler velocity measured proximal and ...

The aortic valve sits between the left ventricle (the heart's lower left chamber) and the aorta (the main artery in the heart ...

Q. I have a leaky heart valve that may need surgery down the road. Can you tell me about heart-valve surgery in one of your columns? A. First, let’s explain briefly how the heart works.
