DOI: 10.1007/s00330-021-08016-3
Abstract: Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), the most common congenital valve defect, is associated with increased risk of aortic dilation and related complications; however, current risk assessment is not effective. Most of BAV have three leaflets with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/cvr/cvz178
Abstract: Aims Dysfunctional matrix turnover is present at sites of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and leads to the accumulation of monomeric tropoelastin rather than cross-linked elastin. We used a gadolinium-based tropoelastin-specific magnetic resonance contrast agent (Gd-TESMA)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/heartjnl-2022-320922
Abstract: Objective Women with Turner syndrome (TS) are at increased risk of aortic dissection, which is a life-threatening event associated with aortic dilation. Knowledge on the development of aortic dilation over time remains limited. This study… 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.
