Abnormal blood flow in the aorta is linked to inflammation and breakdown of the vessel wall in conditions where the aorta is dilated. This is shown in a study led by researchers at Linköping ...

Northwestern University researchers have developed the first physics-based metric to predict whether or not a person might someday suffer an aortic aneurysm, a deadly condition that often causes no ...

In 44 patients with suspected dissecting aneurysm of the aorta, an aortographic diagnosis of dissection, based on the demonstration of a narrowed true lumen and of a false channel, was made in 23.

Abnormal blood flow in the aorta is linked to inflammation and breakdown of the vessel wall in conditions where the aorta is dilated. The findings can contribute to better diagnosis and open up new ...

Arterial Stiffness Inversely Tied to Plasma Adiponectin Levels Obese children have abnormal measurements of the biophysical properties of the aorta, reflecting increased aortic stiffness and early ...

Repaired aortic coarctation (CoA) is associated with high long-term mortality and morbidity. 1,2 Persistent left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, myocardial dysfunction and particularly arterial ...

Researchers discovered the physical mechanism underlying aortic aneurysm The interaction between this weakened wall, high blood pressure, large aortic size, and other factors causes the artery wall to ...
