Abnormal blood flow in the aorta is linked to inflammation and breakdown of the vessel wall in conditions where the aorta is dilated. This is shown in a study led by researchers at Linköping ...

Northwestern University researchers have developed the first physics-based metric to predict whether or not a person might someday suffer an aortic aneurysm, a deadly condition that often causes no ...

In 44 patients with suspected dissecting aneurysm of the aorta, an aortographic diagnosis of dissection, based on the demonstration of a narrowed true lumen and of a false channel, was made in 23.

Abnormal blood flow in the aorta is linked to inflammation and breakdown of the vessel wall in conditions where the aorta is dilated. The findings can contribute to better diagnosis and open up new ...

A thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a potentially life-threatening condition characterized by an abnormal bulge in your body’s main artery. TAAs are usually symptom-free until they rupture, but early ...

Arterial Stiffness Inversely Tied to Plasma Adiponectin Levels Obese children have abnormal measurements of the biophysical properties of the aorta, reflecting increased aortic stiffness and early ...

Thoracic aortic dissection occurs when the intima of the aorta becomes compromised and “tears” or “dissects” a new layer that fills with blood between the intima and the media. This “false lumen” can ...

Researchers discovered the physical mechanism underlying aortic aneurysm The interaction between this weakened wall, high blood pressure, large aortic size, and other factors causes the artery wall to ...
