Correlation between congenital bicuspid aortic valve morphology with thoracic aortic dimensions - a retrospective analysis with cardiovascular magnetic resonance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Congenital bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the commonest inherited cardiac defect that is often associated with a medley of other cardiovascular anomaly, the most frequent being aortic dilatation which may be a consequent of an interplay between genetic and hemodynamic factors. This retrospective study aims to find a correlation between BAV valve morphology with thoracic aortic dimension with cardiovascular magenetic resonance imaging (CMR).

BACKGROUND To investigate aortic dimensions in women with Turner syndrome (TS) in relation to aortic valve morphology, blood pressure, karyotype, and clinical characteristics. METHODS AND RESULTS A cross sectional study of 102 women with TS (mean age 37.7; 18-62 years) examined by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR- successful in 95), echocardiography, and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressur...

PURPOSE To determine if patients with certain bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) phenotypes are predisposed to particular morphological abnormalities of the thoracic aorta. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred ninety-two patients with BAV who underwent magnetic resonance angiography between January 2007 and July 2010 were retrospectively identified. Aortic morphology was examined through measurements o...
متن کاملBicuspid Aortic Valve: An Unusual Cause of Aneurysm of Left Coronary Sinus of Valsalva
Bicuspid aortic valve is traditionally considered an innocuous congenital anomaly. Due to a better and widespread availability of non-invasive imaging techniques, it has come to the fore that 30% of these cases develop complications, viz., valve abnormality (aortic regurgitation and stenosis), and aneurysm of aortic root and ascending aorta. Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is an uncommon complicatio...
متن کاملInter-technique agreement between two-dimensional echocardiography and cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging in the setting of bicuspid aortic valve disease
Background Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common form of congenital heart disease and 30-50% of BAV have an associated aortopathy. Accurate aortic measurements are therefore particularly important in these patients. Two-dimensional echocardiography (2DE) is typically used to follow the aortic size in these patients; however, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) offers the potential ...
متن کاملPseudoaneurysm of the mitral–aortic intervalvular fibrosa presenting after chest trauma and diagnosed by cardiac magnetic resonance: a case report
UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION Annular subvalvular pseudoaneurysm is a rare example of left ventricle aneurysm described predominantly in young African people. These aneurysms are divided into two different types, namely, submitral or subaortic, with subaortic being the less frequent kind. The subaortic type is most often localized in the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa. To the best of our know...
