Spectrum of Aortic Valve Abnormalities Associated With Aortic Dilation Across Age Groups in Turner Syndrome

Congenital aortic valve fusion is associated with aortic dilation, aneurysm, and rupture in girls and women with Turner syndrome. Our objective was to characterize aortic valve structure in subjects with Turner syndrome and to determine the prevalence of aortic dilation and valve dysfunction associated with different types of aortic valves.The aortic valve and thoracic aorta were characterized by cardiovascular MRI in 208 subjects with Turner...
