This study aimed to evaluate the association of ascending aortic diameter (AAD) measured by low-dose chest CT (LDCT) and metabolic syndrome (MS) in Korean men. AAD was measured with LDCT in 1046 healthy Korean men (mean age 50.7卤9.7 years, range 28 to 69 years) participating in medical...
The mechanical dysfunction that results in aneurysm is a result of remodelling of the aortic wall. Maximal aortic diameter is the only epidemiologically derived surrogate of the gross mechanical properties of the vessel. However, diseases of the aorta manifest with notable differences in the underlying...
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 ...
instead uses the mean velocity at systole a single location at Upm , along with the any point measured aortic diameter. Statistical analyses. The traits were adjusted for the effect of covariates by stepwise multiple linear regres- sion in SPSS (version 25). Age, age2 , sex, BMI,...
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. ...
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 a corset made of an artificial material, i.e. a Dacron vascular prosthesis. So far, ...

In 65 (66.3%) patients, the aortic root was dilated. Dilatation was defined as the ratio of observed/expected aortic root diameter indexed to body surface area and age greater than 1.5.14 Thirteen (20%) of 65 patients had evidence of trivial to mild aortic regurgitation. TABLE E1. ...
