Abstract 5770: Abnormal Aortic Root Elastic Properties in Family Members of Bicuspid Aortic Valve Subjects, despite Normal Aortic Valve Morphology.

Abstract: Background: Abnormal aorta dilatation and elastic properties have been documented in subjects with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). 10% of first degree relatives (FDRs) of probands with BAV inherit this valvular abnormality. There is no data regarding the elastic properties of aortic root in family members of BAV subjects. We evaluated the elastic properties in FDRs with normal tricuspid aortic valves. Methods: Systolic and diastolic aortic root dimensions … Show more
