Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of wall shear stress (WSS) as a
predictor of ascending aorta (AAo) growth at 5 years or greater follow-up. Background Aortic …

Objectives This study sought to assess the predictive value of wall shear stress (WSS) for
colocalized ascending aorta (AAo) growth rate (GR) in patients with bicuspid aortic valve …

Aims Aortic wall shear stress (WSS) distributions in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) patients have
been associated with aortic dilatation, but prospective, longitudinal data are missing. This …

Background—Hemodynamics may play a role contributing to the progression of bicuspid
aortic valve (BAV) aortopathy. This study measured the impact of BAV on the distribution of …

Objective: To assess the relationship between regional wall shear stress (WSS) and
oscillatory shear index (OSI) and aortic dilation in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) …

Background Use of 4‐dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging (4D‐flow MRI) derived
wall shear stress (WSS) heat maps enables identification of regions in the ascending aorta …

Aims We compared flow and wall shear stress (WSS) patterns in the ascending aorta of
individuals with either bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) or tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) using four …

Objectives This study sought to ascertain whether patients with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV)
have an intrinsic alteration in regional aortic stiffness compared with patients with tricuspid …

Background Wall shear stress (WSS) is a stimulus for vessel wall remodeling. Differences in
ascending aorta (AA o) hemodynamics have been reported between bicuspid aortic valve …

Background In patients with bicuspid valve (BAV), ascending aorta (AAo) dilatation may be
caused by altered flow patterns and wall shear stress (WSS). These differences may explain …
