DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.13968
Abstract: Recently, long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been revealed to mediate smooth muscle dysfunction in thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA). LncRNA HOXA‐AS2 has been proposed to engage in the regulation of diverse diseases. However, its function in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00330-020-06963-x
Abstract: Assessment of thoracic aortic dimensions with non-ECG-triggered contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE-MRA) is accompanied with motion artefacts and requires gadolinium. To avoid both motion artefacts and gadolinium administration, we evaluated the similarity and reproducibility of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00414-017-1583-9
Abstract: BackgroundAcute thoracic aortic dissections and ruptures, the main life-threatening complications of the corresponding aneurysms, are an important cause of sudden cardiac death. Despite the usefulness of the molecular diagnosis of these conditions in the clinical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10067-021-05978-z
Abstract: Aortitis is found in 2–12% of thoracic aortic aneurysm repair/replacement surgeries. Yet little is known about such patients’ post-operative outcomes or the role of post-operative corticosteroids. The study was undertaken across three tertiary referral hospitals… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10557-020-07005-w
Abstract: Purpose Advancing age is the major risk factor for thoracic aortic aneurysm/dissection (TAAD). However, the causative link between age-related molecules and TAAD remains elusive. Here, we investigated the role of Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1, also known… read more here.
