Shear Stress Initiates Endothelial to Mesenchymal Transition in Endocardial Endothelial Cells
2022-12-08
Abstract excerpt
Discrete subaortic stenosis (DSS) is a congenital heart disease in which a fibrotic membrane forms below the aortic valve; the underlying cellular mechanisms are currently unknown. Since an elevated pressure gradient in the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) is a distinguishing feature of DSS, it is hypothesized that the membrane formation is caused by elevated wall shear stress applied to the endocardial endot...
