Determinants and normal values of ascending aortic diameter by age, gender, and race/ethnicity in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA).doi:10.1002/jmri.24183thoracicaortaMRInormalvaluecardiovascularriskfactorsPurposeTo determine the normal size and wall thickness of the ascending thoracic ...
ascending aorta has elongated considerably, and, thus, become curved, obliquity of theaxial planein respect to thecenterlineof the aorta will introduce a moderate discrepancy of several millimeters; the axial measurements will “overestimate” the diameter relative to the double oblique measurements. ...
The normal diameter of the ascending aorta has been defined as<2.1 cm/m2and of the descending aorta as <1.6 cm/m2. The normal diameter of the abdominal aorta is regarded to be less than 3.0 cm. The normal range has to be corrected for age and sex, as well as daily workload. Can ...
A generalized linear model was used to describe predictors of the continuous response variable discharge/1-month SOV diameter. Multivariable Cox regression was used to determine independent predictors of overall mortality. Factors included in the model were age, ascending aorta diameter (millimeters), ...
CT revealed a large low-density area within the abnormal- ity, measuring 70 × 74 mm in diameter, which indicated circumferential perigraft fluid collection around the entire length of the graft in the ascending aorta (Fig. 2B, C). This fluid accumulation was 15 mm larger ...
(range of 3,288–13,588) case/control in this larger Heritability has been estimated previously for a parameter used to estimate Re metrics; an echocardiographic- derived measure of the ascending aorta diameter was estimated to be 32–38% heritable in a mixed family-based cohort (n = 1...
published the results of an external reinforcement of the ascending aorta in 1971 [1]. The technique was also used in vascular surgery to treat abdominal aortic aneurysms and first described in the early 50s [2]. This procedure leads to a reduction of the diameter of the vessel by applying ...
Results Among 442 athletes (mean [SD] age, 61 [6] years; 267 men [60%]; 228 rowers [52%]; 214 runners [48%]), clinically relevant aortic dilatation, defined by a diameter at sinuses of Valsalva or ascending aorta of 40 mm or larger, was found in 21% (n = 94) of al...
Current guidelines recommend surgical treatment when the diameter of the aneurysm exceeds 50 mm. In patients with family history of aortic dissection or with Loyes-Dietz syndrome (a more severe form of Marfan syndrome), surgery should be considered when they are even smaller. Composite replacement ...
