DOI: 10.1016/s0735-1097(19)32710-x
Abstract: Indexed aortic diameters have shown improved stratification for prediction of adverse events among men and women with aortic disease; less is known about the prognostic value of these indices post-dissection. We evaluated whether indexed aortic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/s0735-1097(20)32881-3
Abstract: To prevent type A aortic dissection (AD), patients with aortic diameters ≥ 5.5 cm are recommended to undergo elective aortic repair, yet AD may occur at smaller sizes. This study aimed to identify results of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/01.hjh.0000548372.77151.7b
Abstract: Objectives: The relationship between increasing aortic size and risk of spontaneous rupture/dissection has been well documented. Assessment of the sizes of the segments of the thoracic aorta is an essential part of every echocardiographic examination.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/heartjnl-2019-315321
Abstract: The primary goal of pre-participation cardiac evaluation in athletes is to identify individuals at high risk of sudden death but other cardiac abnormalities may be discovered. Athletes tend to have larger aortic dimensions than sedentary controls… read more here.
