Due to short stature, aortic size index (ASI)—ascending aortic diameter (AD)/body surface area (BSA)—is used to identify aortic dilatation in TS patients. We sought to: 1) describe echocardiographic findings in the largest cohort of Australian women with TS; 2) assess if ASI progresses ...
However, and despite its importance, methods to measure the stiffness of the ascending aorta are limited. Objective: To introduce a method for calculating local PWV in the human ascending aorta using non-invasive ultrasound measurements of its diameter (D) and flow velocity (U). Approach: Ten ...
AA diameter progression was lower in surgical compared to transcatheter patients, 0.95 (0.60, 1.30) vs 1.65 (0.67, 2.63) mm, P = 0.02. AA diameter progression indexed for body surface area and height was lower in the surgical group: 0.72 (0.38, 1.05) vs 1.05 (0.39, 1.71) mm/m2, P ...
Aims The prognostic impact of the main pulmonary artery/ascending aorta diameter ratio (MPA/AOr), measured simply by computed‐tomographic angiography (CTA), was investigated in this patient group. Methods A total of 374 retrospectively evaluated patients (mean age 78.1 ± 8.4 years, 192 [51.3%]...
Disten- sibility and diameter of ascending aorta assessed by cardiac magnetic reso- nance imaging in adults with tetralogy of fallot or complete transposition. Am J Cardiol. 2012;110:103-8.Rutz T, Max F, Wahl A, Wustmann K, Khattab K, Pfammatter JP, Kadner A, Schwerzmann M. ...
Thoracic AortaCardiac MRIIntroduction: Ascending aortic diameter (AAoD) is commonly monitored to manage patients at risk of aortic dissection. Z-scores have also been proposed to identify at risk aortas, adjusting AAo for age, gender, and body surface area (BSA). Despite improved imaging and ...
Discriminatory Value of the Ascending Aorta Diameter in Suspected Acute Type A Aortic Dissectiondoi:10.1111/acem.13547The objective was to determine if ascending aorta (AscAo) diameters measured by noncontrast computed tomography (CT) allow for meaningful discrimination between patients with and without...
AA diameter progression indexed for body surface area and height was lower in the surgical group: 0.72 (0.38, 1.05) vs 1.05 (0.39, 1.71) mm/m2, P = 0.02, and 0.59 (0.36, 0.81) vs 1.11 (0.44, 1.78) mm/m, P = 0.001, respectively. At multivariable linear regression analysis ...
(52.5-70.5)years and median body mass index(BMI)was 28.2(25.1-32.6)cm2.The number of female patients was 37(25%).Median diameter of the ascending aorta was 5.0(4.5-6)cm and 53.8%of the patients had an aortic diameter<5.0 cm,while 32.3%of the patients had an aortic diameter of 4.5...
