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 ...

The weakened sections of the aortic wall may become unable to support the force of blood flow. Such an aneurysm could burst, causing serious internal bleeding or even send blood clots down the legs to ...

The thrombus was treated with a stent-graft, effectively excluding it from the aortic blood flow and preventing further embolization. This case, along with a review of the literature, indicated ...

there is less resistance to blood flow from the LV through the aortic valve; this means less blood regurgitates through the mitral valve, thereby decreasing the intensity of the murmur.

and it’s a narrowing of the aortic valve. As you can imagine, as the valve narrows, it restricts blood flow, which makes the heart work harder than it normally would to pump blood. When our ...

The diagnosis of aortic stenosis is made mostly on physical examination and by echocardiography. The ECG in patients with aortic stenosis frequently shows left ventricular hypertrophy with strain ...
