Disruption of mechanical stress in extracellular matrix is related to Stanford type A aortic dissection through down-regulation of Yes-associated protein.

We also compared the STAAD patients to age- and gender-matched healthy volunteers: echocardiography revealed highly significant maximum aortic wall velocity (Vmax) differences (including aortic wall systolic velocity, late diastolic retraction velocity and early diastolic retraction velocity) between healthy subjects (Figure 1B, C-E ) and patients with STAAD (Figure 1B, C-E ).
