Atkins The Hemodynamic Theory of Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease 1904 .txt text/plain 552 19 30 This study found that AV tissue responds in a time-dependent manner to BAV leaflet WSS, with acute inflammatory and remodeling expression and activity within 24 hours that begins to decrease after 48 hours, except in the case of pro-inflammatory cytokine BMP-4 and cellular adhesion molecule VCAM-1. Despite increasing evidence for this hemodynamic etiology, the demonstration of the involvement of mechanical abnormalities in the pathogenesis of BAV disease requires the investigation of causality between the blood flow environment imposed on the leaflets and the aortic wall and the local biology, which has been lacking to date. cache/6395w665s12.txt txt/6395w665s12.txt
