An aortic stenosis murmur is an unusual sound the heart makes due to a narrowing of the aortic heart valve. The narrowed heart valve restricts blood flow from the heart, which can create a murmur.

is superior to surveillance in patients with severe but asymptomatic aortic stenosis with no apparent cost in adverse events, according to the EARLY TAVR study, which was immediately characterized ...

In patients greater than age 65, more than 90% of aortic stenosis involves trileaflet valves which have developed heavy calcification. [5] In these instances the calcium deposits are thought to ...

Continuing our series exploring diagnoses that can easily be missed, Dr Charlotte Weaver describes a case of aortic stenosis that was initially overlooked A 62-year-old female attended the practice ...

This equation is called the continuity equation for steady one-dimensional flow. For a steady flow through a control volume with many inlets and outlets, the net mass flow must be zero, where inflows ...

Aortic regurgitation occurs when blood leaks back into the left ventricle due to a leaky aortic valve. This is a type of valve disease in the heart. Aortic regurgitation can lead to some heart ...

JAKARTA – Indonesia’s new president Prabowo Subianto on Oct 20 announced his Cabinet line-up, the largest in recent history, with the team reflecting his aim to prioritise policy continuity ...

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is an alternative to surgery in patients with severe aortic stenosis, but data are limited on younger, low-risk patients. This analysis compares outcomes ...

A continuity equation or transport equation is an equation that describes the transport of some quantity. It is particularly simple and powerful when applied to a conserved quantity, but it can be ...

Pathophysiological shear rates as observed in aortic valve stenosis (AS) can influence protein conformation and function as observed with vWF (von Willebrand factor). Given the proinflammatory ...
