Does bicuspid aortic cusp fusion morphology alter aortic outflow patterns, wall shear stress, and expression of aortopathy?
Bicuspid aortic valve fusion morphology alters aortic hemodynamics, suggesting a physiological mechanism linking valve phenotype to the expression of aortopathy.
The presence and type of BAV fusion was associated with changes in regional wall shear stress distribution, systolic flow eccentricity, and expression of BAV aortopathy. Hemodynamic markers suggest a physiological mechanism by which the valve morphology phenotype can influence phenotypes of BAV aortopathy.
