Objectives: Acute Type A aortic dissection (AAD) is a life-threatening entity requiring immediate surgery, which still carries a high morbidity and mortality. Numerous studies have analyzed the survival after s
The heart then pumps that oxygen-rich blood through the aortaand its branches to all the organs and tissues in the rest of the body, including the brain, the abdomen, and the arms and legs. After the hemoglobin delivers the oxygen into the tissues, it collects carbon dioxide, the waste p...
had undergone operation before 1980 (p = 0.008). In conclusion, life expectancy for patients with the Marfan syndrome has increased > 25% since 1972. Reasons for this dramatic increase may include (1) an overall improvement in population life expectancy, (2) benefits arising from cardiovascular ...
affecting the biomechanical function of the aorta in aortic aneurysms. The outcome was validated using the inflammasome inhibitor glyburide, which alleviates the development of aortic aneurysm and dissection78. Abnormal NLRP3 induction results in the reconfiguration of myocytes and ...

As life expectancy increased in the late 1900s, so did the prevalence of CVD. Now in the 2000s, increase in technology has resulted in increased obesity and other risk factors for CVD.How do symptoms typically presents in people with cardiovascular disease? they usually start asymptomatic but ...
