New ESC Guidelines for aortic disease

The ESC has published new guidelines for diagnosis and management of thoracic aortic disease. In this podcast, Catherine Otto asks Dr Iung, Professor of Cardiology, Bichat Hopital, Paris Diderot University, France, to summarise the key new points in these guidelines, specifically focusing on aortopathy in patients with bicuspid valve disease, and in those with Marfan syndrome and other inherited connective tissue disorders.

This podcast was recorded at the European Society of Cardiology Annual Scientific Sessions, Barcelona, Spain, August 2014.
