Objectives Non-contrast CT aortic valve calcium scoring ignores the contribution of valvular fibrosis ... CT-AVC and contrast-enhanced CT were performed in SALTIRE2 and DIAMOND, while ...

In this work, we have utilized an unsupervised domain adaptation method described by Dou et al. (8) employing a CNN architecture which enables CAC scoring in CCTA while learning from annotated ...

Based on these data, we propose an algorithm for classifying patients in terms of PPM risk, considering the presence of initial RBBB, AVCS and the type of valve used. Finally, in the current technical ...

The researchers reviewed data on nearly 110,000 patients who underwent surgical replacement of aortic valves between the ages of 40 and 79. They found that in those aged 60 or younger, mechanical ...

The aortic valve, influenced by factors such as endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, oxidative stress, lipid metabolism disorders, calcium deposition, and extracellular matrix remodeling, undergoes ...

Methods: This retrospective cohort study identified 14,046 patients with aortic valve stenosis that underwent TAVR. Patients were stratified into two groups: cancer patients 13583 (96.7%) and ...

Calcific aortic valve disease is the pathological remodeling of valve leaflets. The initial steps in valve leaflet osteogenic reprogramming are not fully understood. As TERT (telomerase reverse ...
