4D FLOW EVALUATION OF ABNORMAL SYSTOLIC FLOW PATTERNS WITH BICUSPID AORTIC VALVE

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 血流动力学改变在二尖瓣主动脉瓣(BAV)患者升主动脉扩张中所起的作用是有争议的。我们使用了4D Flow MR成像来评估收缩期血流模式，目的是揭示异常，从而帮助我们了解BAV患者患动脉瘤和夹层的风险增加的原因。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The role altered hemodynamics play in dilation of the ascending thoracic aorta in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) patients is controversial. We have employed 4D Flow MR imaging to evaluate systolic blood flow patterns with the goal of uncovering abnormalities that may inform our understanding of why BAV patients are at increased risk for aneurysm and dissection.
