As the stenosis progresses, a resting gradient develops across the aortic valve. The left ventricle responds by developing hypertrophy to overcome the stenosis. The increased wall thickness helps ...

As your heart beats, it pumps blood from the left ventricle through the aortic valve and into the aorta, your body’s largest artery. The aortic valve is made up of three triangular flaps of ...

The root of the aorta begins at the left ventricle of the heart and ascends ... coarctation of the aorta or malformation of ...

Note the heavily calcified aortic valve (Ao; see arrow) and significant left ventricular hypertrophy.RV=right ventricle; LV=left ventricle; LA=left atrium Doppler velocity measured proximal and ...

Objective In this study, the impact of regular training on left ventricle morphology in a group of athletes with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) was evaluated. Design Longitudinal cohort study. A group of ...

The septum separates the right-hand and left-hand side of the heart. The tricuspid valve separates the right atrium and right ventricle. It opens due to a build-up of pressure in the right atrium ...

The septum separates the right-hand and left-hand side of the heart. The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and right ventricle and opens due to a build-up of pressure in the ...

JenaValve completed the first patient procedure for inclusion in a registry of its Trilogy transcatheter heart valve (THV) system.

Registry seeks to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the JenaValve Trilogy™ Heart Valve System in patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) and clinically significant aortic ...
