Abstract
We read the paper by Guzzardi et al. (1) with great interest. These investigators demonstrate the effects of specific types of aortic valve anomaly on the pattern of aortic wall shear stress (WSS) measured by 4-dimensional cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and the relationships among WSS, ascending aorta shape and dilation, and wall degeneration. We have previously shown that increased WSS quantified by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) on the basis of pre-operative magnetic resonance imaging coincided with severe disruption of the media of the aorta, as documented by histological examination (Figure 1) (2). The findings of Guzzardi et al. (1) confirm and extend our previous findings.
