Aortic Valve Stenosis - Pathology
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Aortic Valve Stenosis'A pathological constriction that can occur above (supravalvular stenosis), below (subvalvular stenosis), or at the AORTIC VALVE. It is characterized by restricted outflow from the LEFT VENTRICLE into the AORTA.

Determinants of occurrence of aortic sclerosis in an aging population.
30 Jul 2009 
OBJECTIVES: We sought to identify clinical, physiological, and biochemical correlates, including markers of endothelial dysfunction and of tissue nitric oxide (NO) responsiveness, of the presence of aortic sclerosis (ASc) in an aging population. ... Read more...
29 Jun 2009 BACKGROUND: Aortic valve stenosis is the most common type of valve lesion in Europe and North America. Patient treatment is based on disease severity, which is classified by determining the aortic valve area (AVA). PURPOSE: To compare dual-source ... Read more...
Aortopathy is prevalent in relatives of bicuspid aortic valve patients.
14 Jun 2009 OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of dilation and abnormal elastic properties of aortic root in first-degree relatives (FDRs) of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) patients. BACKGROUND: Evidence indicates that BAV is a genetic ... Read more...
