The normal range of aortic root diameters in this group was 17 to 33 mm (mean 23.7). A significant difference (P is smaller than 0.001) in aortic root diameters existed between men and women which could not be explained by differences in body surface area. The mean diameter among the 81...
We sought to establish normal values for the diameters of the thoracic aorta and reference curves related to body growth in children using CE-CMRA. Results CE-CMRA was performed in 53 children without cardiovascular disease. The median age was 9 years (range 2 – 20 years), weight 30 kg (...
Reference values for echocardiographic assessment of the diameter of the aortic root and ascending aorta spanning all age categories. Am J Cardiol. 2014;114(6):914-920. doi:10.1016/j.amjcard.2014.06.024PubMedGoogle ScholarCrossref 21. Mitchell C, Rahko PS, Blauwet LA, et ...
The term acute aortic syndrome (AAS) refers to a range of different entities, including dissection, intramural haematoma and penetrating atherosclerotic ul
Cine gradient echo MRI is an appropriate technique to evaluate pulmonary autograft diameters during follow-up. Concordance with TEE was good, apart from a systematic difference of 2 mm. 展开 关键词: Pulmonary autograft Aortic valve MRI Transesophageal echocardiography Root replacement Cine gradient echo...
AVR may be considered (class 2b recommendation) for patients with Stage C aortic regurgitation who, on at least three studies showed either a progressive decrease in LVEF to the low normal range (55% to 60%) or a progressive increase of left ventricular dilation to severe range (left ventricu...
the triage is proposed by Dake et al., which highlights the anatomic and clinical features necessary to make treatment decisions using the mnemonic “DISSECT”: Duration, Intimal tear (location), Size (maximum diameter), Segmental Extent (ascending, descending, etc.), Complications, and Thrombosis...
(LV) and aortic root dilatation (left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD)—6.9 cm; indexed 2.79 cm/mm2), moderate mitral regurgitation, and preserved LV ejection fraction (EF). Chest computed tomography (CT) angiography confirmed aortic root dilatation (4.8 cm at the sinuses, 4.1 cm—...
MACS was then expressed as a percentage of aortic root diameter (AOD) to correct for patient size. In normals MACS averaged 72.7% (range 63-92%) of AOD. With mile aortic stenosis MACS averaged 53.1% of AOD (range 42-62%) (P less than 0.001 vs normal). With moderate and severe ...
aorta longitudinal strain, but not circumferential strain and distensibility, was an independent predictor of the aortic root diameter growth rate in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) of Marfan syndrome patients24. The axial motion of aortic root due to ventricular traction was suggested to contribute ...
