A new study published in Nature Communications identifies a molecular signaling pathway that contributes to the development ...

An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is an enlarged area in the lower part of the major vessel that supplies blood to the aorta. Termed the silent killer, most AAAs are asymptomatic, often going ...

Using human cells in laboratory rats, Michigan Medicine researchers have developed a functional model of thoracic aortic aneurysm, creating opportunities for more effective understanding of disease ...

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a common congenital heart defect where the aortic valve has two leaflets (cusps) instead of the usual three, resulting in abnormal blood flow and development of aortic ...

A veteran's study identified more than a dozen genes associated with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) that could be used to better identify people at risk for the often-deadly condition, according to ...

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 ...

Researchers from Sun Yat-sen University and affiliated organizations published data from a study that aimed to assess the role of the TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6), E3 ubiquitin ligase ...

Intermittent hypoxia caused by obstructive sleep apnea increased the susceptibility of mice to develop abdominal aortic aneurysms, researchers report in a new study. Obstructive sleep apnea may be a ...

An aortic aneurysm occurs when a weak aortic wall stretches, causing it to bulge. An aortic dissection occurs when there’s a tear in the aortic wall, which can be fatal if not treated immediately. The ...
