Abnormal blood flow in the aorta is linked to inflammation and breakdown of the vessel wall in conditions where the aorta is dilated. This is shown in a study led by researchers at Linköping ...

Arterial Stiffness Inversely Tied to Plasma Adiponectin Levels Obese children have abnormal measurements of the biophysical properties of the aorta, reflecting increased aortic stiffness and early ...

Northwestern University researchers have developed the first physics-based metric to predict whether or not a person might someday suffer an aortic aneurysm, a deadly condition that often causes no ...

When an aneurysm occurs in the chest (above your diaphragm) it's called a thoracic aortic aneurysm. Thoracic aortic aneurysms are classified based on which part of the aorta is abnormal: While your ...

Abnormal blood flow in the aorta is linked to inflammation and breakdown of the vessel wall in conditions where the aorta is dilated. The findings can contribute to better diagnosis and open up new ...

INDIANAPOLIS — Ira McKay, 77, spends most days working on the five-acre Madison County farm he shares with his fiancé, Barbara Bowman-Johnson. He's enjoyed a life free of health concerns and has a ...

Northwestern University researchers have developed the first physics-based metric to predict whether or not a person might someday suffer an aortic aneurysm, a deadly condition that often causes no ...

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — More than 15 thousand people die each year from a ruptured aortic aneurysm. An aortic aneurysm happens when a bulge develops in the major artery that carries blood from your ...

Researchers discovered the physical mechanism underlying aortic aneurysm The interaction between this weakened wall, high blood pressure, large aortic size, and other factors causes the artery wall to ...

A thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a potentially life-threatening condition characterized by an abnormal bulge in your body’s main artery. TAAs are usually symptom-free until they rupture, but early ...
