Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SOVA) is an abnormal dilatation of the aortic root located between the aortic valve annulus and the sinotubular junction. This occurs as a consequence of the weakness of the elastic lamina at the junction of the aortic

Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SOVA), a congenital or acquired cardiac defect that is present in roughly 0.09% of the general population, often presents as an incidental finding during cardiac imaging. Although an echocardiogram is the standard imaging

Sinus of Valsalva aneurysms (SVA) represent a rare condition in which there is dilation of one or more of the three aortic sinuses that form the connection between the aortic valve and the ascending aorta. Although the true prevalence is unknown,

The heart is the center of the body's circulation, the engine that drives oxygen received in the lungs to the tissues and organs as well as to exchange carbon dioxide. The oxygenated blood travels in the organism to organs and tissues through the aorta.

The anatomy of the aortic root has been studied in different species, and common structural features of importance have been detailed. The findings confirm the universal presence of a well-marked ridge limiting the distal extent of the aortic sinuses.

Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm, dilatation of one or more of the aortic sinuses, is a rare but important aortic root defect, which can be a cause of some serious cardiac sequels. The purpose of this article is to review the etiopathogenesis, relevant

BACKGROUND Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) may be congenital or acquired. They could mimic ventricular tumor symptoms and cause signs and symptoms of ventricular outflow tract obstruction. They may also involve the conduction system and cause palpitations
