Peak flow velocity was assessed in the LVOT and the proximal aorta.

We aimed to study their relation to dilation of proximal aorta.

Their relation to dilation of proximal aorta is unclear.

Root technique, follow-up length, and preoperative aortic valve regurgitation were predictors of proximal aorta dilatation.

Conclusion: Progression of proximal aorta leading to adverse aortic events after isolated AVR in TAV patients is infrequent.

Conclusion: Severe plaques in the proximal aorta together with dyslipidaemia are seen more frequently in patients with atherothrombotic stroke.

Conclusions: The carotid artery atherosclerotic profile defined by ultrasonography is a strong predictor of the atherosclerotic profile of the proximal aorta.

Background: Accurate assessment of mechanical properties of the proximal aorta is a requisite first step for elucidating the pathophysiology of isolated systolic hypertension.

Increased central aortic pressure following TAVR relates to increased transmitted power and energy to the proximal aorta with increased excess pressure but unchanged reservoir pressure.
