The different imaging techniques, by means of echocardiography, magnetic resonance and computed tomography, are extensively discussed, as well as pitfalls in size measurements. The size of the ascending aorta may increase due to aging or pathologic conditions. The authors consider an aortic root or ...
Age, sex, and body size (both BSA and height) were all significantly associated with aortic size at both the sinuses of Valsalva and the ascending aorta. The presence of hypertension was also significantly associated with aortic size at both locations, while other clinical markers of ...

Assessing allometric relationships can have important implications for the detection of aneurysms, particularly at the extremes of body size. Methods: A U-Net convolutional neural network (CNN) segmentation architecture was trained, validated, and used to segment the ascending aorta (AA) and derive ...
Nevertheless, a strong limitation of current guidelines is the surgical threshold based on studies with limited numbers of patients and mostly affected by aortic dissection at the time of the surgery and it is known that the ascending aorta expands on average of the 20% at the time of ...
(pulmonary hypertension) together with echocardiogram.There are no studies looking at MPA size and its association with PHTN or bronchiectasis.Aims and objectives: To see if measuring MPA size and MPA/Ascending Aorta correlates with PHTN and bronchiectasis.To analyse if serial measurements over time...
Objective: Aortic dissection is an uncommon and potentially fatal complication of pregnancy; however, the association of the number of pregnancies with the indexed and absolute size of the ascending aorta in patients without aortic aneurysm or connective tissue disorders is not well elucidated. Research...
