Article Synopsis
- The review focuses on the gene ANRIL and its associations with coronary artery disease (CAD) and aortic aneurysms (AA), highlighting the need for better understanding of their genetic links.
- Various single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) related to ANRIL are identified as significantly linked to CAD and AA, with some SNPs like rs1333049 showing different correlations with each disease.
- The study suggests that ANRIL could be useful for future patient screening and risk assessment, although more research is necessary to clarify its role in connecting these two cardiovascular conditions.
Acute type A aortic dissection is a surgical emergency with a high mortality rate if left untreated. Management of the aortic root in this setting constitutes an intricate decision-making framework, further complicated by the emergent nature of the dissection. There exists much controversy regarding pursuit of the aggressive aortic root replacement versus a conservative root-sparing repair, alongside considerations for valve-sparing root replacement.
