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 ...

Mildly to moderately dilated ascending aorta showed a generally slow progression over 6 years in this general population–based study. A higher 7-day home measured systolic blood pressure (BP) was the ...

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 ...

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

Aortic stenosis happens when the valve opening between your aorta and left ventricle narrows, forcing your heart to work harder to pump blood. Over time, this can lead to muscle thickening and heart ...

Learning that your baby has coarctation (pronounced ko-ahrk-TAY-shun) of the aorta can be a scary time for any parent, and you likely have many questions about what this means for your baby and their ...

Aortic valve insufficiency is a form of valvular heart disease. It occurs when the aortic valve does not function properly. This may cause the heart to work harder and can lead to heart failure.

Aortic insufficiency is a potentially severe condition that affects the heart’s ability to pump blood. There are many possible causes for this condition. Aortic insufficiency is a form of heart valve ...
