Abstract: BACKGROUND The limitation of aortic size-based criteria is gradually recognized in the prediction of aortic events especially in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) cohorts, while most aortic events happen in patients with proximal aortic diameters read more here.

Abstract: Perlecan (HSPG2), a basement membrane-type heparan sulfate proteoglycan, has been implicated in the development of aortic tissue. However, its role in the development and maintenance of the aortic wall remains unknown. Perlecan-deficient mice (Hspg2−/−-Tg: Perl… read more here.
