Why the study?
Does the systolic left ventricular outflow jet angle measured by velocity-encoded CMR correlate with aortic dilatation in pediatric patients with bicuspid aortic valve?
Does the systolic left ventricular outflow jet angle measured by velocity-encoded CMR correlate with aortic dilatation in pediatric patients with bicuspid aortic valve?
Abnormal blood flow patterns, specifically increased systolic LV outflow jet angles measured by CMR, correlate with aortic dilatation and matrix metalloproteinase-2 levels in pediatric patients with bicuspid aortic valves.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support jet angle as CMR marker in pediatric BAV surveillance; hypothesis-generating, needs longitudinal validation.
Reijer et al. (2010) studied this question.
