Excerpt

The main determinant of the haemodynamic significance of aortic stenosis (AS) is the irreversible pressure loss that is created by the stenosis. The majority of the pressure loss is caused by conversion/dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) to heat. Recent developments in cardiac magnetic resonance 4D flow imaging have allowed the non-invasive assessment of TKE. Bicuspid aortic valve disease is known to be associated with a larger ascending aorta and disordered flow patterns, and we hypothesised that peak TKE would be higher in bicuspid AS than tricuspid AS. …
