Valve mediated hemodynamics and their association with distal ascending aortic diameter in bicuspid aortic valve subjects

Valve mediated hemodynamics have been postulated to contribute to pathology of the ascending aorta (AAo). The objective of this study is to assess the association of aortic valve morphology and hemodynamics with downstream AAo size in subjects with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease.
