Mashup Score: 2Arterial Age and Early Vascular Aging, But Not Chronological Age, Are Associated With Faster Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Growth - 9 month(s) ago
Background Aneurysm size is an imperfect risk assessment tool for those with thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA). Assessing arterial age may help TAA risk stratification, as it better reflects aortic he…

Mashup Score: 6Combining aortic size with arterial hemodynamics enhances assessment of future thoracic aortic aneurysm expansion - 2 year(s) ago
Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a deadly disease whose current method for risk stratification (aneurysm size) is imperfect. We sought to evaluate whether combining aortic size with hemodynamic measures that reflect the aorta’s function was superior to aortic size alone in the assessment of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) expansion.

🔥Hot off the press @CJCJournals! Our work led by @Tzhu_SNodes shows: (1) measures of aortic function have stronger association with #TAA growth than aneurysm size, and (2) combining aortic size+function improves the assessment of future TAA growth. 👉🏻 https://t.co/IRhDI2gNni https://t.co/7oiceY10Rv

Mashup Score: 2
Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is associated with high morbidity and mortality, and there is a critical need for improved tools for risk assessment and prognostication. We have previously shown that aortic stiffness, measured from arterial tonometry (carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity, cfPWV), is independently associated with TAA expansion. To increase clinical applicability, in the present…

1/2⭐️⭐️E-pub alert! After establishing the utility of measured #aorticstiffness in predicting future #TAA growth, @BoczarKevin and our team assessed whether mathematically estimated aortic PWV (no need for equipment) could do the same. The answer? YES! https://t.co/uLBbeXXMFD https://t.co/0pMR0Mm8Fo

Mashup Score: 0Endurance Exercise Following Ascending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Resection in Bicuspid Aortic Valve Aortopathy - PubMed - 2 year(s) ago
This case series study evaluates aortic outcomes in athletes performing endurance exercise or competition after ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm resection with bicuspid aortic valve aortopathy.

Yes! Let's liberalize exercise recommendations for low risk patients! Here #BAV with #TAA s/p above STJ surgery did well with competitive endurance exercise. Low risk of root problems. @daniel_forsha @JonathanWindram @SamWittekind @ShelbyKuttyMD https://t.co/3RH9OF44HP

Mashup Score: 11
Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is associated with high morbidity and mortality, and most people who suffer an acute aortic syndrome are unaware of having underlying aortopathy. To reduce harm associated with TAA, screening of at-risk individuals and timely referral for elective repair are necessary. In this Training/Practice paper, we provide guidance to clinicians when considering TAA screening…

Research by @BoczarKevin and @thaiscoutinhoCV shows that measures of aortic stiffness and pulsatile arterial load are associated with future #TAA expansion. These may help improve assessment of disease activity and refine risk stratification in patients. https://t.co/PFyLOOMBH7 https://t.co/5vgI9r7c9s

Mashup Score: 7ESC | ESC CONGRESS 2020 | Role of estimated aortic pulse wave velocity in the prediction of future thoracic aortic aneurysm expansion - 4 year(s) ago
Background: Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a deadly disease in critical need of novel strategies for risk assessment and medical management. To address this need, we have previously shown that directly measured carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), a marker of aortic stiffness and health, independently predicts future TAA expansion. Since aortic pulse wave velocity can be estimated…

1/2🌟New pub alert!🌟 When you see a pt with #TAA, is age the first thing u note? In this study, we found that what is truly relevant for predicting TAA growth is not chronological age, but rather ARTERIAL age. Because the aorta is #NotJustAPipe ! https://t.co/1XyAX5ncXn #AortaEd https://t.co/Z9YbVXHgzE
