Pulsatile blood flow through the cavities of the heart and great vessels is time-varying and
multidirectional. Access to all regions, phases and directions of cardiovascular flows has …

Traditionally, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of flow using phase contrast (PC) methods
is accomplished using methods that resolve single‐directional flow in two spatial …

Bicuspid aortic valve disease is the most common congenital cardiac disorder, being
present in 1% to 2% of the general population. Associated aortopathy is a common finding in …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an important tool for the clinical evaluation
of patients with cardiovascular disease. Since its introduction in the late 1980s, 2 …

Objectives This study sought to assess the predictive value of wall shear stress (WSS) for
colocalized ascending aorta (AAo) growth rate (GR) in patients with bicuspid aortic valve …

Background—Aortic 3-dimensional blood flow was analyzed to investigate altered
ascending aorta (AAo) hemodynamics in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) patients and its …

Background In patients with bicuspid valve (BAV), ascending aorta (AAo) dilatation may be
caused by altered flow patterns and wall shear stress (WSS). These differences may explain …

Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is the most prevalent valvular heart disease in developed
countries and is associated with the development of severe secondary complications such …

Background—Hemodynamics may play a role contributing to the progression of bicuspid
aortic valve (BAV) aortopathy. This study measured the impact of BAV on the distribution of …

Background—Ascending aortic dilation is important in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease,
with increased risk of aortic dissection. We used cardiovascular MR to understand the …
