http://www.ccs.ca/society/congress2002/abstracts/abs/a366.htm

Extractions: METHODS: Consecutive patients with isolated subaortic stenosis presenting to the Toronto Adult Congenital Cardiology Clinic were reviewed (n=53). Patients with the following associated anomalies were excluded: septal defects, transposition, double outlet RV, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and univentricular connections. RESULTS: There were 28 males, and the mean age was 36.8±1.8 (mSD) years at current follow up. The common associated anomalies included 17 aortic stenosis, 13 aortic regurgitation, 14 bicuspid aortic valves (BAV), 5 supravalvular aortic stenosis, 9 coarctation, 4 mitral stenosis, and 5 PDAs. All 53 patients had undergone at least one surgical resection of their subaortic membrane at a median age for the first resection at 10 (range 1,67 years), with an average LV outflow gradient of 74.5±5.2 mmHg. Of the 53 pts, 28% (15/53) required subsequent aortic valve surgery, including 10 valvotomies and 9 AV replacements at a median age of 21 years (14,27). At the time of surgery, 47% had BAVs and 53% had tricuspid AVs, all with valvular aortic stenosis. Of those requiring aortic valve replacements, 67% also required reoperation for recurring subaortic stenosis.

Extractions: Return to Table of Contents BICUSPID AORTIC VALVE DISEASE IS ASSOCIATED WITH ENDOTHELIAL DYSFUNCTION K Al Faraidy, L Shewchuk, YH Sun, A Maitland, TJ Anderson, S Verma Calgary, Alberta BACKGROUND: Bicuspid aortic valve disease is the most common congenital cardiac abnormality and is associated with a high rate of aortic stenosis, aortic dilatation, coarctation and atherosclerosis. Recent evidence, from gene knock out studies, suggest that deficiency in nitric oxide (NO) production may be linked to the development of bicuspid aortic valve disease. In the present study, we hypothesized that patients with bicuspid aortic valves would exhibit impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilatation when compared to case-matched patients with tricuspid aortic valves. METHODS AND RESULTS: CONCLUSION: We uncover, for the first time, an important association between bicuspid aortic valves and endothelial dysfunction, in otherwise healthy, asymptomatic patients without heart failure or coronary artery disease. These data may provide new insight into the development of

Extractions: Return to Table of Contents FIBRILLIN-1 IS SYSTEMICALLY DEFICIENT IN BICUSPID AORTIC VALVE DISEASE P Fedak, PWM Fedak, MPL de Sa, S Verma, J Butany, RD Weisel, TE David Toronto, Ontario INTRODUCTION: We previously determined that fibrillin-1 is deficient in the aortic media of patients with bicuspid aortic valve malformations (BAV) and may contribute to aortic disruption or dilatation. This study was designed to determine the expression of fibrillin-1 and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in vasculature remote from the diseased aorta. METHODS AND RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: These data support both a systemic deficiency of fibrillin-1 in subsets of patients with BAV and a role for aberrant fibrillin-1 processing and elevated MMP activity in the aortic complications characteristic of this common congenital malformation. Notably, the devastating vascular manifestations of BAV disease may be a consequence of fibrillin-1 gene dysregulation. DNC NEXT

Numerical Simulations In Studying Combined Aortic Valve Disease - SLEZAK/Tau
Numerical Simulations in Studying Combined aortic valve disease. Dr. Moshe Rosenfield Fleischman Faculty of Engineering, Tel Aviv University Prof.
http://www.tau.ac.il/institutes/slezak/reports/reports97-5.html

Extractions: Sackler Faculty of Medicine , Tel Aviv University The aim of the present study is to investigate combined aortic stenosis and regurgitation of varying severity using numerical simulations. The numerical simulations will provide detailed data on the time dependent flow field. Moreover, the numerical simulations can be effectively utilized to isolate the governing factors and to develop (together with other tools of investigation) more reliable methodologies in the assessment of the severity of aortic stenosis and regurgitation. Usually the simplified Bernoulli equation is used to calculate the pressure drop across heart valves. However, since the flow is viscous (rotational) and time dependent, this equation may not be valid or yield accurate results. This is especially true in the present case of stenotic lesions in combined aortic stenosis and regurgitation, where strong interaction and the vortical flow invalidates the underlying assumptions. Furthermore, the effect of stenosis severity on the color Doppler assessment of the regurgitant jet in these lesions was never studied in a controlled manner. Therefore it is of utmost importance to comprehend the resulting flow field and consequently to develop improved and simplified relationships (or correlations) for estimating more accurately the pressure drops in the case of combined aortic stenosis and regurgitation.

http://www.washington.edu/newsroom/news/2002archive/10-02archive/k102202.html

Extractions: DATE: Oct. 22, 2002 Future studies may find that ACE inhibitors, a class of drugs now taken by people with high blood pressure, could slow down or prevent the development of aortic valve calcium, say University of Washington researchers. Currently, the only treatment for severe calcium in the aortic valve is surgical replacement. "Since we already know that ACE inhibition has benefit in a similar disease, atherosclerosis, further study of this therapy in calcific aortic valvular disease makes a lot of sense," says the lead author, Dr. Kevin OBrien, an associate professor of medicine in the UW School of Medicines Division of Cardiology. In the study, published in the Oct. 22 issue of Circulation, OBrien and colleagues analyzed 21 human aortic valves, either from autopsy or from people who were having their valves replaced. Angiotensin-converting enzyme, or ACE, was not detected in normal aortic valves, but was present in all valves with lesions. ACE was found in association with LDL cholesterol, both in lesions and in the bloodstream, raising the possibility that LDL carries the ACE into lesions, where the ACE then contributes to aortic valve disease development. The findings also raise the possibility that the association of ACE with LDL particles may be relevant to a number of diseases in which LDL accumulates, such as atherosclerosis and some renal diseases.

High Cholesterol And Calcification Are To Blame For Aortic Valve Disease
High cholesterol and calcification are to blame for aortic valve disease. No medical therapy has been proven to alter the progression of aortic valve disease.
http://www.globaltechnoscan.com/12thJune-18thJune02/cholesterol.htm

Extractions: High cholesterol and calcification are to blame for aortic valve disease High cholesterol levels can lead to fatty deposits in the aortic valve. These deposits may induce undifferentiated cells to transform to bone-forming cells that calcify and narrow the aortic valve, according to researchers. Narrowing of the aortic valve is a common condition that causes the heart to have to squeeze harder to support normal blood flow, causing the heart muscle to enlarge and eventually fail. A study published today in Circulation authored by researchers at Northwestern and the Mayo Clinic is the first to explain the mechanism responsible for this process. Contact: Amanda Widtfeldt

http://www.westsubcardiology.com/pages/cases/Aorticvalve/aorticstenosis.htm

Extractions: West Suburban Cardiologists New: Indications for Endocarditis Prophylaxis Aortic Stenosis C alcific Aortic Stenosis is often a disease seen in the elderly. Symptomatic patients may report chest pain (angina), loss of consciousness (syncope), or shortness of breath (congestive heart failure). When severe or critical aortic stenosis is present and the patient has one of the symptoms mentioned above, surgery to replace the aortic valve is best course of action. H owever, many patients have other illnesses or problems that impose a high risk for major complications from cardiac surgery. Others have one of more contraindications for valve replacment. For these carefully selected patients, palliative (symptom relieving) Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty can be offered. This procedure is not as durable as surgery nor does it offer the same benefits in terms of altering the natural history of the disease as is found with aortic valve replacement. Nevertheless, it is a resonable procedure for carefully selected patients who are otherwise unacceptable surgical candidates. The balloon procedure usually results in symptom improvement and increased functional capacity for the next 6-18 months. While re-narrowing of the valve is not uncommon, the procedure can be repeated safely and effectively if necessary. B alloon Aortic Valvuloplasty is performed in the cardiac catheterization lab in a manner similar to other types of cardiac catheterization including coronary angioplasty. An overnight hospital stay is almost always required. Most patients can be discharged within 24-48 hours after the procedure.

http://www.provet.co.uk/equinecardiology/5a66442.htm

Extractions: Small nodules and fenestrations of the aortic valve cusps are common findings in normal horses. Fenestrations are usually found on the leading edge of the valve and may even be found in the fetus. Small nodules are more often found in older animals and become most common in horses over approximately seven years of age. These nodules are due to degenerative change, but frequently appear to have no effect on valve function. In some animals band-type lesions are found, and these are more often associated with signs of abnormal valve function. Nodules and bands are most frequently found on the right coronary cusp of the valve, although the left coronary cusp and the non-coronary cusp are also affected. Lesions, particularly those of a band-type, may result in valvular incompetence; however, there is no evidence that they ever result in sufficient obstruction to outflow to merit the term 'stenosis' (see section 6.5.4 ). Aortic regurgitation (AR) is quite common in older horses, but is occasionally found in younger animals. Topics 6.5.1 Auscultation
