Meanings of aortic dilatation in anglès

We have also shown a new association between abnormal LFTs and aortic dilatation.

Background: Proximal aortic dilatation is frequently associated with aortic valve pathology.

Conclusions: Cusp pathology is frequently encountered in patients with ascending aortic dilatation and AI.

The aortic dilatation relates medial abnormalities coupled with previous long-standing volume overload of the ascending aorta.

In the 38 patients with proximal aortic dilatation, reimplantation or remodeling of the aortic root was performed.

Objective: To determine whether perindopril therapy reduces aortic stiffness and attenuates aortic dilatation in patients with Marfan syndrome.

Further studies could clarify the relations between these findings and the pathogenesis of aortic dilatation in bicuspid aortic valve patients.

AVR alone is acceptable and reasonable in patients with mild to moderate proximal aortic dilatation if connective tissue disorders are not present.

Conclusions: In aortic dilatation and leaflet prolapse, FML and, to a lesser extent, gH increased significantly compared to those of normal AV function.

Context: Aortic stiffness is increased in Marfan syndrome contributing to aortic dilatation and rupture, the major cause of premature death in this population.

The secondary hypothesis was an association between the presence of maternal antibodies (SS-A or SS-B) and the degree of aortic dilatation.

The treatment of mild to moderate proximal aortic dilatation (maximal diameter: 40-50 mm) at the time of aortic valve replacement (AVR) is still controversial.

Aortic dilatation was induced by intraluminal incubation with elastase on day 35.
