    Abstract Background: With preventive aortic grafting decreasing the incidence of type A dissections in Marfan syndrome (MFS), most dissections are now type B, for which risk factors remain largely uncertain.
    Objectives: We explored the determinants of type B dissection risk in a large, single-center MFS registry.
    Methods: Demographic and anthropometric features, cardiovascular disease, and surgical history were compared in patients with MFS with and without type B dissection.
    Results: Of 336 patients with MFS, 47 (14%) experienced a type B dissection (vs type A in 9%). Patients with type B dissection were more likely to have undergone elective aortic root replacement (ARR) (79 vs 46%; P < 0.001). Of the patients, 55% had type B dissection a mean of 13.3 years after ARR, whereas 45% experienced type B dissection before or in the absence of ARR; 41 patients (87%) were aware of their MFS diagnosis before type B dissection. Among those with predissection imaging, the descending aorta was normal or minimally dilated (<4.0 cm) in 88%. In multivariable analyses, patients with type B dissection were more likely to have undergone ARR and independent mitral valve surgery, to have had a type II dissection, and to have lived longer.
    Conclusions: In our contemporary cohort, type B dissections are more common than type A dissections and occur at traditional nonsurgical thresholds. The associations of type B dissection with ARR, independent mitral valve surgery, and type II dissection suggest a more severe phenotype in the setting of prolonged life expectancy.

    Abstract Background: Although many studies on the association between dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disease (CVD) exist in older adults, data on the association among adolescents and young adults living with disproportionate burden of cardiometabolic disorders are scarce.
    Methods and results: The SHFS (Strong Heart Family Study) is a multicenter, family-based, prospective cohort study of CVD in an American Indian populations, including 12 communities in central Arizona, southwestern Oklahoma, and the Dakotas. We evaluated SHFS participants, who were 15 to 39 years old at the baseline examination in 2001 to 2003 (n=1440). Lipids were measured after a 12-hour fast. We used carotid ultrasounds to detect plaque at baseline and follow-up in 2006 to 2009 (median follow-up=5.5 years). We identified incident CVD events through 2020 with a median follow-up of 18.5 years. We used shared frailty proportional hazards models to assess the association between dyslipidemia and subclinical or clinical CVD, while controlling for covariates. Baseline dyslipidemia prevalence was 55.2%, 73.6%, and 78.0% for participants 15 to 19, 20 to 29, and 30 to 39 years old, respectively. Approximately 2.8% had low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ≥160 mg/dL, which is higher than the recommended threshold for lifestyle or medical interventions in young adults of 20 to 39 years old. During follow-up, 9.9% had incident plaque (109/1104 plaque-free participants with baseline and follow-up ultrasounds), 11.0% had plaque progression (128/1165 with both baseline and follow-up ultrasounds), and 9% had incident CVD (127/1416 CVD-free participants at baseline). Plaque incidence and progression were higher in participants with total cholesterol ≥200 mg/dL, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ≥160 mg/dL, or non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ≥130 mg/dL, while controlling for covariates. CVD risk was independently associated with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ≥160 mg/dL.
    Conclusions: Dyslipidemia is a modifiable risk factor that is associated with both subclinical and clinical CVD, even among the younger American Indian population who have unexpectedly high rates of significant CVD events. Therefore, this population is likely to benefit from a variety of evidence-based interventions including screening, educational, lifestyle, and guideline-directed medical therapy at an early age.

    Abstract Background: The risk of pregnancy-associated vascular complications in Marfan syndrome (MFS) is uncertain because of ascertainment bias, prepartum lack of knowledge of diagnosis, and insufficient peripartum imaging data. Furthermore, U.S. and European guidelines differ in pregnancy recommendations in MFS.
    Objectives: This study describes a single-center experience of 169 MFS women to address these gaps.
    Methods: Clinical, imaging, and pregnancy history were compared in never vs ever-pregnant MFS women, and pregnancy-associated vascular complications were described.
    Results: A total of 74 ever-pregnant women had 112 live births. Elective aortic root replacement occurred at a younger age in never-pregnant women (33 years vs 42 years; P = 0.0026). Although aortic dissection prevalence did not differ between never-pregnant vs ever-pregnant women (23% vs 31%; P = 0.25), it tended to occur at an earlier age in the former group (38 years vs 45 years; P = 0.07). Of observed "sanctioned" pregnancies with prepartum diameters ≤4.5 cm, mean pregnancy-related aortic diameters remained stable. In total, 5 dissections were associated with pregnancy: 2 type A in women unaware of their diagnosis; and 2 type B and 1 isolated coronary artery dissection in women aware of their diagnosis. Dissection rates were 5-fold higher in the pregnancy vs nonpregnancy period.
    Conclusions: Pregnancy-related type A dissection only occurred in patients unaware of their diagnosis. Type B dissection remains an unpredictable complication. Although there were baseline differences between the never- and ever-pregnant groups, no difference in dissection risk was observed outside the peripartum period. Those with prepartum aortic diameters between 4.0 and 4.5 cm demonstrated stable aortic dimensions throughout pregnancy. These findings provide a rationale to update existing U.S. guidelines for the management of pregnancy in MFS.

    Abstract Introduction: The wideband external pulse (WEP) recorded during blood pressure measurement reveals three components (K1, K2, K3). K1 is recorded with cuff pressure (CP) above systolic (SP).
    Aim: To assess whether the K1 pattern contains information about the functional and structural properties of the cardiovascular system.
    Methods: WEP analysis, echocardiography, carotid artery (CA) ultrasonography and applanation tonometry were conducted on 178 hypertensives. K1R, a feature of K1, was defined to provide a measure between the arterial incident and backward reflective waves.
    Results: K1R was strongly correlated to vascular functional and structural parameters compatible with vascular effects of aging and hypertension. ANOVA analysis (K1R < 0 vs K1R > 0) showed that K1R < 0 participants: (1) were older, shorter, weighed less, had a smaller body surface area; (2) had higher SP, pulse (PP) and mean (MP) pressure, lower heart rate (HR), greater total peripheral resistance (TPR), lower cardiac output (CO), and a stiffer arterial system; (3) had a greater left ventricular (LV) relative wall thickness (LVRWT), carotid artery (CA) relative wall thickness (CARWT), CA far-wall intima-media thickness at end diastole (CIMTd) and CA cross-sectional area (CSA) (all p < 0.001). Regressions revealed that age, TPR, SP, gender, and HR predicted K1R (R
    Conclusions: K1R is related to vascular functional properties, with suggestive evidence that K1R is also related to vascular structural properties and perhaps subsequent cardiovascular risk.
