Feasibility of Wave Intensity Analysis in Patients With Conotruncal Anomalies Before and After Pregnancy: New Physiological Insights?

Feasibility of Wave Intensity Analysis in Patients With Conotruncal Anomalies Before and After Pregnancy: New Physiological Insights?

Background: Conotruncal anomalies (CTA) are associated with ongoing dilation of the aortic root, as well as increased aortic stiffness, which may relate to intrinsic properties of the aorta. Pregnancy hormones lead to hemodynamic changes and remodeling of the tunica media, resulting in the opposite...
