The association between amyloidosis and aortic valve stenosis has attracted considerable international attention. However, ...

Genetic variants linked to a rare form of bicuspid aortic valve disease that affects young adults and can lead to dangerous and potentially life-threatening aortic complications have been identified ...

Researchers are working to determine why the aortic valve doesn't form correctly in patients with the most common congenital heart defect: bicuspid aortic valve. In a new Nature Communications study, ...

New clues from genetic research may help explain what causes the most common heart defect present at birth. Researchers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Karolinska Institutet have identified ...

Why it matters: Millions live with undiagnosed valvular heart disease, which can lead to heart failure, stroke, or death if untreated. What’s causing it: Valve narrowing and calcification can result ...

Genetics and valve disease: Studies reveal shared genetic mechanisms between normal valve function and aortic stenosis. Risk model goes global: PREVENT tool accurately forecasts cardiovascular risk ...

Objective Concerns exist about the possible detrimental effects of exercise training on aortic size and valve function in individuals with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). This multicentre international ...

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Aortic stenosis is a condition that often develops with age. It's caused by a buildup of calcium, which causes the aortic valve to become too narrow, reducing blood flow from the ...

The Ross procedure, which can be used to treat young people with severe aortic valve disease, has seen wide swings in popularity over the years, but now, with consistent data on long-term survival and ...
