This multicenter study sheds more light on sex-based differences in aortic stenosis (AS) and argues the benefits of using ...

For the first time, researchers said SGLT2 inhibitors may have some disease-modifying potential for nonsevere aortic stenosis ...

Earlie Smith experienced an aortic dissection. Months later, her brother, Larry Smith, also had one. The same doctor helped ...

As cavitation bubbles collapse, they produce shock waves inducing mechanical softening of the targeted calcified valve leaflet. Therapeutic dose was estimated as the mean acoustic focal energy (J/mm2) ...

using echocardiography (mean pressure gradient (MPG)) and AS anatomic severity using CT (degree of aortic valve calcification (AVC)). Results After a mean follow-up of 2.9±1.0 years, mean MGP ...

Direct aortic measurements using phase contrast allow quantitation of volumetric flow across the aortic valve and are highly reproducible ... CMR is limited by arrhythmia, artefacts, longer scan time ...

"This process is like a cosmic CT scan, where we can look through different slices of cosmic history and track how matter clumped together at different epochs." A powerful combination of data from ...

Citation: Mechanical valves offer superior long-term survival for aortic valve replacement patients aged 60, study finds (2025, January 27) retrieved 15 February 2025 from https://medicalxpress ...

A late-breaking study presented today at the 2025 Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) Annual Meeting reveals that mechanical aortic valve replacements (AVRs) provide significant long-term survival ...

This past weekend on Saturday night both machines failed completely, and urgent cases had to be taken to the Rahima Moosa Hospital for CAT scans. On Monday morning one of the machines was working, but ...

CLAIM: CT coronary scans can detect heart blockages quickly, non-invasively, and with precise detail, eliminating the need for traditional angiograms. FACT: This claim is misleading. While CT coronary ...
