Abstract: Background Aortic dissection is a life-threatening complication of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV)-associated aortopathy. In these populations, whilst prophylactic replacement of proximal thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) is generally recommended at threshold diameters ≥5.5 cm, dissection may… read more here.

Abstract: OBJECTIVES Significant proportions of aortic dissections occur at aortic diameters 10 cm2/m, mean IAAs corresponding to aortic diameters 5.5 cm, and mean aortic diameters corresponding to IAAs 10-12 cm2/m, 12-14 cm2/m and >14 cm2/m were determined.… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND Standard cine-cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is commonly used to evaluate cardiac structure, geometry and function. Prior studies have shown that automated segmentation via partial voxel interpolation (PVI) accurately quantifies phantom-based cardiac chamber volumes… read more here.
