Elastin integrity in bicuspid valve-associated aortopathy is associated with altered biomechanical properties and influenced by age

BACKGROUND: Aortic wall remodelling in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) patients is heterogeneous and characterized by elastin fiber breakdown alongside impaired biomechanics. However, the relationship between aortic histopathological changes and biomechanics are incompletely understood. We clarify the i...
