Abnormal blood flow in the aorta is linked to inflammation and breakdown of the vessel wall in conditions where the aorta is dilated. This is shown in a study led by researchers at Linköping ...

Northwestern University researchers have developed the first physics-based metric to predict whether or not a person might someday suffer an aortic aneurysm, a deadly condition that often causes no ...

In 44 patients with suspected dissecting aneurysm of the aorta, an aortographic diagnosis of dissection, based on the demonstration of a narrowed true lumen and of a false channel, was made in 23.

INDIANAPOLIS — Ira McKay, 77, spends most days working on the five-acre Madison County farm he shares with his fiancé, Barbara Bowman-Johnson. He's enjoyed a life free of health concerns and has a ...

Thoracic aortic dissection occurs when the intima of the aorta becomes compromised and “tears” or “dissects” a new layer that fills with blood between the intima and the media. This “false lumen” can ...

Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder of the connective tissue (the material that holds together the various structures of the body). It affects the formation and functioning of the heart valves, ...

Repaired aortic coarctation (CoA) is associated with high long-term mortality and morbidity. 1,2 Persistent left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, myocardial dysfunction and particularly arterial ...

Aortic valve Stenosis is an abnormal narrowing of the aortic valve. Symptoms include angina, syncope, and the symptoms of heart failure. Aortic valve replacement is the only proven effective therapy ...

Researchers discovered the physical mechanism underlying aortic aneurysm The interaction between this weakened wall, high blood pressure, large aortic size, and other factors causes the artery wall to ...
