The Ross Procedure, a highly specialized option for aortic valve replacement, is associated with significant long-term ...

An aortic stenosis murmur is an unusual sound the heart makes due to a narrowing of the aortic heart valve. The narrowed heart valve restricts blood flow from the heart, which can create a murmur.

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 ...

Researchers have now proposed a molecular mechanism that links amyloid deposition in the aortic valve with degenerative calcification. They also theorize that other risk factors for CAVD, such as high ...

The Ross procedure, a highly specialized option for aortic valve replacement, is associated with significant long-term durability and excellent ...

Researchers have developed cutting-edge MRI technology to diagnose a common heart problem more quickly and accurately than ever before. Aortic stenosis is a progressive and potentially fatal condition ...

People with ankylosing spondylitis may be at an increased risk of developing some types of heart disease, including aortic regurgitation. Aortic regurgitation, or aortic insufficiency, is ...

Most people think of heart problems as blocked arteries or heart attacks, but the heart's valves are just as important in keeping blood pumping efficiently. Heart valve disease occurs when these ...

Aortic valve dysfunction is a rare but relevant long-term complication after orthotopic heart transplantation (HTX). Treatment options include surgical (SAVR) and transcatheter (TAVR) aortic valve ...

Mitral valve, computer illustration. Valvular heart disease can, if found early, be managed and potentially mitigated before the need for surgery. As such, education is important so that cardiology ...

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a congenital heart condition. It occurs when the aortic valve has two cusps instead of the three. BAV can lead to serious complications. Several treatment options can ...
