known as a bicuspid aortic valve. The slightly abnormal flow through bicuspid aortic valves puts extra stress on the leaflets. This usually doesn’t pose a problem in childhood. However ...

As blood constantly flows over the aortic valve, calcium, a mineral found naturally in your blood, accumulates on the valve's cusps. Calcium deposits can build up sooner in people with abnormal ...

across the aortic valve from the aorta into the left ventricle during diastole. This abnormal backflow of blood leads to pathologic changes in the heart — remodeling — in order to maintain ...

The mitral valve is the most commonly repaired heart valve, but the aortic, pulmonic, and tricuspid valves may also undergo some of these repair techniques. If your valve can be repaired ...

This can cause abnormal blood flow as well as a heart murmur. Several valves in the heart aid with blood movement and ...

ECG Challenge: Cardiac Abnormalities After Aortic Valve Replacement At a routine follow-up after an aortic valve replacement, a 56-year-old woman complains of fatigue and chest discomfort.

There are three main forms of aortic valve disease: congenital abnormalities, such as a bicuspid valve that leads to premature calcification; calcification of the normal trileaflet valve ...

Researchers found that a gene on the Y chromosome influences how aortic valve stenosis progresses differently in males and ...

Disease and congenital abnormalities can lead to defective valve function and cardiac insufficiency. One effective treatment in the case of aortic or pulmonary valve deficiencies is valve replacement.

Aortic valve Stenosis is an abnormal narrowing of the c valve. Symptoms include angina, and that of heart failure. Aortic valve replacement is effective therapy.

Over time, patients who undergo this procedure may experience improved overall health and a reduced risk of complications associated with aortic abnormalities. Recovery after Total Aortic Arch ...

Aortic regurgitation can result from abnormalities of the aortic valve leaflets, dilation of the aortic root, or a severe increase in afterload. When the aortic leaflets are involved, there is ...
