Invasive measurements of pulse wave velocity correlate with the degree of aortic valve calcification and severity associated with matrix metalloproteinases in elderly patients with aortic valve stenosis.
The aim of the present study was to assess the association between invasive PWV (pulse wave velocity), serum levels of MMPs (matrix metalloproteinases) and the echocardiographic severity and calcification score of degenerative AS (aortic stenosis). We enrolled 30 patients (16 males; age, 61.3+/-8.2 years) diagnosed with degenerative AS and an additional 30 age- and sex-matched control patients....
متن کاملHigh aortic pulse wave velocity is associated with poor quality of life in surgical aortic valve stenosis patients.
OBJECTIVES Aortic stiffness is an emerging risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The predictive value of aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) for quality of life (QoL) and severity of surgical aortic valve stenosis (AS) have not been examined. METHODS PWV was measured in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR) for AS. QoL [SF-36 and European QoL 5-dimensions (EQ-5D) questionnaires] w...
متن کاملAortic Valve replacement with Reduction Aortoplasty with Mesh Prosthesis in 75 years old with Sever aortic Regurgitation with Aortic Aneurysm
Although classic and standard procedure for patients with ascending Aorta aneurysm with Sever aortic Regurgitation is Bentall surgery but in some selected cases this complex surgery was not performed with different reason like advanced age and coexisting comorbidity involving renal and hepatic and lung Function. In our cases 75 years old man with chronic renal failure ( Cr= 3.2 ) who was known ...
متن کاملAortic valve preservation surgery in elderly patients with aortic stenosis.
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to investigate early and late results of the aortic valve preservation surgery (AVPS) through rough-hewing, demineralization and commissurotomy of the aortic valve (AV) in aortic stenosis (AS) at elderly people. METHODS Thirty-two patients operated for pure AS, older than 65 years-old were studied at InCor FMUSP. Early and late results, clinical (amb...
