      "abstract": "Predicting ascending aortic growth is challenging. Linear, continuous assumptions may oversimplify biology. We evaluated the following: (i) whether baseline body size-indexed diameter has a nonlinear association with subsequent growth; and (ii) whether patient-level trajectories are continuous or episodic.\nFor this single-centr, retrospective study (2012-2024), the primary cohort (n = 3315; ≥ 2 computed tomography/magnetic resonance scans) modelled the association between baseline indexed size (z score) and annualized growth using multivariable linear regression and generalized additive models, adjusting for clinical covariates. A sub-cohort (n = 1055; ≥ 4 scans) was classified into the following longitudinal phenotypes: stable (total growth < 2.0 mm); stable-with-noise (total growth < 2.0 mm with alternating small changes); continuous growth (total growth ≥ 2.0 mm without an episodic event); and discontinuous/episodic growth (total growth ≥ 2.0 mm with ≥ 1 growth episode, defined as a diameter increase ≥ 2.0 mm within 1 interval or across 2 adjacent intervals).\nIn the primary cohort, baseline z score showed a significant nonlinear (U-shaped) association with subsequent growth in generalized additive models (P < 0.001), with higher growth for small (z < 0) and severely dilated (z > 5) aortas. The size-growth relationship was significantly moderated by age, sex, and blood pressure. In the sub-cohort, the phenotype distribution was as follows: stable, 50.4% (532 of 1055); stable-with-noise, 21.6% (228 of 1055); continuous, 5.4% (57 of 1055); and discontinuous/episodic, 22.6% (238 of 1055). Among patients with total growth ≥ 2.0 mm (n = 295), 81% (238 of 295) were episodic, and 58.3% (172 of 295) had a nondilated baseline aorta (z < 2).\nThe cohort-level size-growth relationship is nonlinear, and episodic growth behavior dominates among those that grow larger. These findings support reassessing surveillance intervals, risk communication, and threshold-based decision pathways in thoracic aortic disease.",

      "abstract": "We compared 10-year outcomes of aortic valve-replacing (AVR) and aortic valve-sparing (AVS) root replacement in patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS).\nPatients who met strict Ghent diagnostic criteria for MFS and who underwent either AVR or AVS between March 1, 2005, and December 31, 2010, were enrolled in a 3-year prospective observational study. The follow-up, which was clinical and echocardiographic, was later extended to 20 years. Time-to-event analyses were performed with and without inverse probability weighting to adjust for baseline differences; comparison between groups assessed major adverse valve-related (MAVRE) and other events.\nOf 316 patients enrolled, 77 underwent AVR and 239 underwent AVS; 214 gave reconsent for 20-year follow-up. For survivors, median durations for clinical and echocardiographic follow-up were 12.1 years (interquartile range, 4.6-15.1 y) and 10.1 years (interquartile range, 3.0-14.1 y), respectively. Ten-year adjusted survival rates for the AVR and AVS groups were similar (77.9% ± 4.4% vs 88.4% ± 2.6%; P = .2), as were adjusted rates of MAVRE (36.1% ± 4.2% vs 35.0% ± 3.3%; P = .5). Inverse probability weighting-adjusted competing-risk modeling associated AVS with greater cumulative incidences of structural valve deterioration or nonstructural valve dysfunction (24.9% vs 4.4%; P = .01) and aortic regurgitation ≥2+ (26.5% vs none; P < .001); similar analysis associated AVR with a greater cumulative incidence of bleeding (23.2% vs 2.7%; P < .001).\nTen years postoperatively, the accumulation of structural valve deterioration in patients who underwent AVS and bleeding events in patients who underwent AVR balance out in terms of MAVRE. We plan to follow this cohort for 20 years after aortic root replacement, which may reveal late differences in reintervention rates.",

However, its effectiveness in aortic diseases, such as thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA), remains unclear.\nThis study aimed to evaluate the effects of outpatient CR on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and all-cause mortality after open repair surgery for TAA.\nThis retrospective cohort study analyzed 1,710 patients who underwent open TAA repair between 2003 and 2015. Patients were divided into a CR group (n = 419) and a non-CR group (n = 1,193). Follow-up duration was 1,603 (734-2,301) days in the CR group and 1,169 (610-1,991) days in the non-CR group. Propensity score matching was used to balance the baseline characteristics. Primary outcomes were MACE and all-cause mortality.\nAfter matching, the CR group exhibited a significantly lower incidence of MACEs (HR: 0.58; 95% CI: 0.34-0.97; P = 0.039) and all-cause mortality (HR: 0.59; 95% CI: 0.37-0.94; P = 0.026). The 5-year estimated all-cause mortality rate was 7.5% (95% CI: 4.9%-11.3%) and 12.3% (95% CI: 8.7%-17.3%), respectively. Cardiovascular deaths were 1.7% (7 of 419) and 2.9% (35 of 1,193) in the CR and non-CR groups, respectively (P = 0.17). Former smoking was independently associated with higher all-cause mortality (HR: 2.69; 95% CI: 1.62-4.45; P = 0.001). In former smokers, CR was associated with lower all-cause mortality (log-rank P = 0.008).\nOutpatient CR following TAA surgery was associated with reduced risks of MACE and all-cause mortality, even in the patients with former smoking.",

      "abstract": "To characterise sex-specific patterns of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) valvulo-aortopathy using consensus phenotyping and to assess how aortic normalisation strategies influence sex-related differences in aortic dimensions.\nWe analysed 808 adults with BAV (mean age 49.9 ± 17.5 years; 588 men) from the RE-BAV registry. Valve morphology, aortopathy phenotypes, and clinical valvulo-aortopathy categories were classified according to consensus definitions. Typical and uncomplicated forms were additionally analysed together as a non-complex category. Proximal aortic dimensions were defined as the aortic root and ascending aorta.Valve morphology distribution did not differ by sex. Although the prevalence of aortic dilatation was similar, phenotype distribution differed: women more frequently exhibited the extended phenotype (34.7% vs 23.3%, p = 0.001), whereas the root phenotype was more common in men (15.1% vs 7.8%, p = 0.006). Moderate-to-severe aortic regurgitation was more prevalent in men (50.3% vs 29.1%, p < 0.001). Sex differences in proximal aortic dimensions varied by normalisation strategy. For the ascending aorta, indexing to body surface area yielded larger values in women (21.1 ± 4.0 vs 20.0 ± 4.0 mm/m2, p = 0.001), whereas diameter/height showed no sex-related difference at this level. Conversely, the cross-sectional area-to-height ratio remained higher in men across proximal segments, most prominently at the sinuses of Valsalva (6.9 ± 2.0 vs 5.6 ± 1.6 cm2/m, p < 0.001). Age was independently associated with larger proximal aortic dimensions across all strategies.\nSex-related differences in BAV involved aortopathy phenotype, aortic regurgitation burden, and proximal aortic dimensions. Interpretation of proximal aortic dimensions depended on the normalisation strategy used, indicating that indexing methods should not be treated as interchangeable.",

      "abstract": "Thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAAD) can have catastrophic health consequences. Eleven genes have strong or definitive evidence for causing heritable TAAD (HTAAD). The aim of this work was to determine the prevalence and effect of rare, pathogenic or likely pathogenic (P/LP) variants in HTAAD genes on the association of TAAD diagnoses, and whether increased polygenic risk is associated with an additive effect on monogenic risk.\nThis genetic association study used data from Penn Medicine Biobank (PMBB) and MyCode Biobank. P/LP HTAAD gene variants were adjudicated according to American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics standards. A polygenic risk score (PRS) was derived from a genome-wide association study of aortic diameter to assess polygenic TAAD risk. The main outcome of interest, TAAD, was identified using an algorithmic review of electronic health records. Regression analyses were performed to determine the monogenic and polygenic effects on TAAD risk.\nAcross the two cohorts, .2%-.3% of participants carried a P/LP HTAAD gene variant. Individuals carrying P/LP HTAAD gene variants had a significantly higher odds of TAAD compared to non-carriers [odds ratio (OR) 13.5, 95% confidence interval (CI) 5.3-34.6, P < .001] with variable effects when stratified by gene. A one standard deviation increase in the PRS was associated with an OR for TAAD of 1.43 (95% CI 1.39-1.47, P < .001). TAAD prevalence was higher among individuals carrying a P/LP HTAAD gene variant in the highest PRS quintile compared to carriers in the lowest PRS quintile (relative risk 2.32, 95% CI 1.29-4.17, P < .01), suggesting that polygenic risk may be an important additive factor in rare variant TAAD risk.\nP/LP HTAAD gene variants confer a substantial population-level increased risk of TAAD. Polygenic risk represents an additive factor for rare variant TAAD risk, suggesting that integrating monogenic and polygenic risks has the potential to enhance patient risk stratification and treatment.",

The considerations are shaped by the interaction between occupational demands and fit for full duty assessments, including risk discussions about how a cardiovascular event in a tactical athlete could impact teammates' well-being, community safety, and overall mission success.\nThis scientific statement is organized into 11 sections focused on cardiovascular disease processes and other topics that are relevant when considering the potential risks and benefits of performing tasks specific to the tactical athlete. Task forces, comprised of experts in tactical athlete domains, sports cardiology, and the respective topics covered, were assigned to each section, and specific \"Clinical Considerations Tables\" for clinicians to reference were prepared. Comprehensive literature reviews and an emphasis on tactical athlete-focused data, as available, were integral in the writing of all clinical considerations presented. The framework mirrors that of the recently published, \"Clinical Considerations for Competitive Sports Participation for Athletes With Cardiovascular Abnormalities: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology.\"\nThe specific sections in this document include: Section 1: Tactical Tasks Classification; Section 2: The Tactical Athlete Preparticipation Cardiac Evaluation; Section 3: Ethical and Legal Aspects of Tactical Clinical Management; Section 4: Genetic Cardiomyopathies; Section 5: Myocarditis and Other Acquired Cardiac Conditions; Section 6: Congenital Heart Disease; Section 7: Aortopathy, Bicuspid Aortic Valve, and Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection; Section 8: Syncope, SCA, Arrhythmias, and Devices; Section 9: Cardiac Channelopathies; Section 10: Older Tactical Athlete; Section 11: Environmental Exposures, PED/S, and Additional Cardiac Conditions and Considerations.

      "abstract": "Despite being a life-threatening condition that may rupture without prior symptoms-potentially resulting in sudden death-comprehensive research on its global burden remains limited. This study was conducted to estimate the global burden and associated risk factors of aortic aneurysms and to project future trends through to 2050.\nData on aortic aneurysms were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021, encompassing 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2021. An aortic aneurysm was defined as a full-thickness dilation of the aorta, including both abdominal and thoracic types. The study stratified the burden by geographical region, age, year, sex, and Socio-demographic Index (SDI). Additionally, attributable risk factors were analyzed, and projections for the burden of aortic aneurysms in 2050 were generated using scenario modelling. These models evaluated the potential impact of eliminating smoking, dietary risks, and high body mass index among adults through improved behavioral and metabolic risk management.\nIn 2021, there were an estimated 153.93 thousand (95% uncertainty interval [UI], 138.41-165.74) deaths globally due to aortic aneurysm. From 1990 to 2021, the global age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) decreased from 2.54 (95% UI, 2.35-2.69) to 1.86 (1.67-2.00), and the age-standardized years of life lost rates declined from 48.79 (46.01-51.80) to 36.54 (33.52-39.46) per 100,000 population. While regions with higher SDI exhibited a sharp decline, the burden remained significant in both high (ASMR, 2.87 [95% UI, 2.51-3.06]) and high-middle (1.79 [1.66-1.92]) SDI areas. Conversely, regions with lower SDI demonstrated an increasing trend. Males consistently exhibited a higher burden than females, and burden increased with age. Tobacco use and high systolic blood pressure were identified as the predominant risk factors for aortic aneurysm-related mortality. Specifically, tobacco use was a more significant risk factor in males, while high systolic blood pressure was more prominent in females. Projections suggest that the global ASMR for aortic aneurysm will remain stable under the reference scenario in 2022 (1.87 [95% UI, 1.67-2.02]) and 2050 (1.44 [1.23-1.70]). However, improved behavioral and metabolic risk management could substantially reduce rates to 0.84 (0.71-0.99) by 2050.\nThe findings demonstrate a global decline in the burden of aortic aneurysms, though pronounced regional differences persist. Effective management strategies must be tailored to account for healthcare infrastructure, socioeconomic status, and risk factors unique to each geographical region.",

      "abstract": "Guideline-directed imaging surveillance (GDIS) is recommended after aortic dissection (AD) and for thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA); however, real-world adherence and outcomes are uncertain.\nFollowing PRISMA-ScR guidance, we searched six databases from inception through May 2026 for studies from the United States or Canada reporting imaging surveillance or clinical follow-up after AD or for TAA. Two reviewers independently screened records and extracted data on surveillance rates, cohort characteristics, radiographic findings, interventions, and survival. Findings were synthesized narratively.\nAcross 13 retrospective studies, enrollments included 1,344 patients with Type A AD, 865 with Type B AD (357 treated invasively at index hospitalization and 508 initially treated medically), 533 with repaired TAA, and 29,185 with unrepaired TAA. Definitions and surveillance intervals varied, and most studies were single-center chart reviews. Adherence to GDIS was generally low and variable. Surveillance was associated with detection of adverse radiographic findings and higher intervention rates. Among studies evaluating survival, two associated imaging surveillance with lower mortality, three reported nonsignificant trends toward lower mortality, and two associated greater surveillance with higher mortality. Few studies used regional or national data capable of capturing surveillance outside the primary health system.\nReal-world adherence to GDIS for AD and TAA is low and heterogeneous. Surveillance identifies clinically important radiographic findings and is associated with more interventions, but associations with improved survival remains limited. Multicenter studies using regional or national data systems are needed to define effective, risk-based surveillance intervals and inform implementation strategies.",

      "abstract": "The aim of this study was to evaluate the intersectionality between measured causes of health inequality and clinical factors that influence treatment decisions and regional variations in care and survival for people with thoracic aortic disease (TAD) in England.\nThe target population was all new TAD diagnoses in English hospitals between April 2013 and March 2018 with at least a 1-year follow-up. Adjusted regression models analyzed the associations between age, sex, race and ethnicity, socioeconomic deprivation, and geographic region with 1-year all-cause death, early elective thoracic aortic intervention, and referral for imaging surveillance or clinical genetics screening.\nThe analysis cohort included 33 793 new TAD diagnoses with complete baseline and follow-up data. In multivariate analyses, older patients, women, and people from economically deprived areas, were more likely to die within 1 year of diagnosis. Exploratory analyses showed that older people, people of Asian or Black race, and those from deprived areas were less likely to undergo early treatment, and older people, women, and people from deprived areas were more likely to undergo surveillance scans within 6 months of diagnosis. People from areas of deprivation were less likely to be referred for genetic screening. After adjustment for baseline differences and health inequalities, there was significant regional variation in the proportion of people with newly diagnosed TAD who underwent treatment and aortic surveillance.\nThere are multilevel sources of inequality in access to care and survival following a diagnosis with TAD in England. These findings expose a significant evidence-to-practice gap and the need for national strategies to implement equitable standardized care pathways.",

      "abstract": "To investigate health-related quality of life (HRQoL), psychological well-being and physical activity in patients with mild-to-moderate ascending aortic dilation.\nWhile ascending aortic dilation often require lifelong surveillance due to the increased risk of severe complications like aortic dissection or rupture, the impact of living with this known risk on patients' psychological well-being and overall quality of life remains less studied.\nSubjects with ascending aortic dilation ≥ 40 mm and age- and sex-matched controls were identified in the general population-based Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS) in Linköping (n = 5053). Of these, 67 cases and 50 controls completed the questionnaires. HRQoL, psychological well-being, physical activity and capacity were assessed using validated forms. Group comparisons were made with independent t-tests or Mann-Whitney U. For correlation analyses, Spearman's rank correlation was used.\nNo statistically significant differences in quality of life were observed between cases and controls. Anxiety and depression scores were likewise comparable across groups (p = 0.228 and 0.307, respectively). Perceived stress (p = 0.096), physical capacity (p = 0.173), and physical activity (p = 0.471) also did not differ significantly between cases and controls. With respect to sedentary behaviour, cases demonstrated a higher mean rank than controls (62 vs. 52), although the p-value marginally exceeded the conventional threshold for significance (p = 0.062). Finally, no significant correlations were identified between aortic diameter and perceived stress, anxiety, or depression.\nIn this population-based cohort, no statistically significant differences in HRQoL, psychological well-being, and physical activity were observed between subjects with mild to moderate ascending aortic dilation and matched controls. However, given the small sample size, small differences between groups cannot be excluded. Balanced management strategies that promote safe physical activity, psychological well-being and HRQoL remain important in this population.",
