AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Human heart valve diseases have become an important topic in cardiovascular pathology and medicine. These diseases have different etiologies and manifestations. However, the most common ones including calcific aortic stenosis have histopathological features that are best characterized as a "response to tissue injury" similar to ones seen in numerous tissues and organs. The valve interstitial cell is the prevalent cell type in the valve and is likely the master cell which ultimately regulates cell and molecular repair processes within the valve that involve autocrine and paracrine processes as well as interactions with the matrix components of the valve. This presentation explores the concept of "response to tissue injury" in understanding the pathogenesis of calcific aortic stenosis.

An increasing number of procedures over the past two decades for aortic stenosis (AS) reflects the combination of an aging population and less invasive transcatheter options. As a result, the hemodynamics of the aortic valve (AV) have gained renewed interest to understand its behavior and to optimize patient selection. We studied the hemodynamic relationship between pressure loss (ΔP) and transvalvular flow (Q) of the normal AV as well as the impact of a variable supravalvular stenosis.

Unlabelled: Introduction Acute heart failure (AHF) is a life-threatening condition that requires swift diagnosis and tailored management to enhance patient outcomes. In the pursuit of more precise prognostic indicators, Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursion (TAPSE) and Pulmonary Arterial Systolic Pressure (PASP) have emerged as potential significant advancements. The TAPSE/PASP ratio, a novel parameter, has recently gained attention as a promising predictor of outcomes in acute heart failure.

Aims: Less pronounced calcification of the aortic valve (AVC) was observed in women with aortic stenosis (AS) as compared to men. Since women have smaller aortic valves (AV), this could explain a lower calcium load. We aimed to analyze the association of AV size with AVC independent from sex.
