Why the study?
Does normo-functional bicuspid aortic valve alter wall shear stress in the ascending aorta compared to healthy volunteers prior to aortic dilation?
Does normo-functional bicuspid aortic valve alter wall shear stress in the ascending aorta compared to healthy volunteers prior to aortic dilation?
Normo-functional bicuspid aortic valves cause significant alterations in ascending aorta wall shear stress that precede clinically relevant anatomical remodeling.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Elevated WSS in normo-functional BAV precedes remodeling; hypothesis-generating for progression risk before practice implications.
Piatti et al. (2017) studied this question.
