In this study, we developed a 3-D patient-specific model of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) to evaluate the effect of US waves in enhancing the drug-containing microbubbles (MBs) adhered on the AAA ...

Images were then reformatted on the AW and saved with 2.5mm x 2.5mm thickness, to quantify calcification through the Vitrea FX Workstation (Vital Images, USA) using the Agatston method; the number ...

Our working hypothesis, based on observations in hypertensive patients, 15 was that were calcification ... and the abdominal aorta (through the right femoral artery) for measurement of central and ...

with nearly 80% of patients with moderate to severe calcification progressing rapidly (> 0.3 m/s/year) either to death or to aortic valve replacement within two years. 13 Current management of ...

In contrast, aortic stenosis severity and left ventricular ejection fraction were similar between groups (p=0.3 and p=0.4, respectively) as well as the distribution of calcifications in the aortic ...

Highlights: Artificial intelligence identifies hidden heart disease risk in routine bone scans Abdominal aortic calcification is a stronger fracture predictor than bone density Vascular health ...

in bicuspid versus tricuspid aortic stenosis (AS) with severe calcification remain unclear. This study aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of TAVR in these patient groups. Methods Using data from ...

Background: Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) is one of the earliest observed forms of atherosclerotic calcification and is crucial for early cardiovascular risk prediction. Frailty, a global ...

This article aimed to identify molecular candidates to serve as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Integrative bioinformatics analysis was conducted ...
