We also note the high incidence (8.8%) of unrecognized aortic root dilation in a group of 57 patients with Turner syndrome whom we prospectively evaluated by echocardiography. Our analysis and review of previously reported cases suggests that multiple risk factors may exist f...

متن کاملSpectrum of aortic valve abnormalities associated with aortic dilation across age groups in Turner syndrome.
BACKGROUND Congenital aortic valve fusion is associated with aortic dilation, aneurysm, and rupture in girls and women with Turner syndrome. Our objective was to characterize aortic valve structure in subjects with Turner syndrome and to determine the prevalence of aortic dilation and valve dysfunction associated with different types of aortic valves. METHODS AND RESULTS The aortic valve and ...
