Aortic Valve Stenosis - Ultrasonography
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. Common names: Aortic Valve Stenosis; Aortic Valve Stenoses; Stenoses, Aortic Valve; Stenosis, Aortic Valve; Valve Stenoses, Aortic; Valve Stenosis, Aortic; Aortic Stenosis; Stenoses, Aortic; Stenosis, Aortic |

Congenital hypofibrinogenemia is a rare condition. We believe that cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass in a patient with congenital hypofibrinogenemia has not been reported before. We discuss the management in a patient with this condition ... Read more...
30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVES: Recently, a new echocardiographic nonflow corrected index (ejection fraction/velocity ratio [EFVR] = percent left ventricular ejection fraction [EF]/maximum aortic gradient) has been introduced and has shown excellent accuracy in ... Read more...
30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: Hypercholesterolemia is a risk factor for aortic stenosis (AS) and for coronary artery disease (CAD). Serum cholesterol concentrations are determined by intestinal cholesterol absorption and endogenous cholesterol synthesis. Vascular ... Read more...
