Abstract This International Consensus Classification and Nomenclature for the congenital
bicuspid aortic valve condition recognizes 3 types of bicuspid valves: 1. The fused type (right …

Cardiac MRI plays an important role in the evaluation of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs),
including ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathy, valvular disease, congenital disease …

Bicuspid aortic valve disease is the most common congenital cardiac disorder, being
present in 1% to 2% of the general population. Associated aortopathy is a common finding in …

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 …

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 …

Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is the most prevalent valvular heart disease in developed
countries and is associated with the development of severe secondary complications such …

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 …

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 …

Background: Blood flow patterns can alter material properties of ascending thoracic aortic
aneurysms (ATAA) via vascular wall remodeling. This study examines the relationship …

Purpose To evaluate the accuracy and feasibility of a free‐breathing 4D flow technique
using compressed sensing (CS), where 4D flow imaging of the thoracic aorta is performed in …
