DOI: 10.1093/ejcts/ezy110
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 Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a connective tissue disorder caused by mutations in the Fibrillin-1 gene (FBN1). Here, we undertook the first epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) in patients with MFS aiming at identifying DNA methylation… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.762468
Abstract: Hypertension is a key risk factor for spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) and aortic dilation. Circulating proteins play key roles in a range of biological processes and represent a major source of druggable targets. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2022.976949
Abstract: Obesity-related metabolic disorders such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia and chronic inflammation have been associated with aortic dilatation and resulting in aortic aneurysms in many cases. Whether weight loss may reduce the risk of aortic dilatation is… read more here.
