China: A new analysis of data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013-2014 has revealed a significant association between frailty and abdominal aortic calcification ...

Limited research has explored this relationship in middle-aged men. Aortic calcification (AC) is a novel biomarker for aortic atherosclerosis. This study aimed to examine whether baseline BMD is ...

Endovascular repair of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (EVAR) has become a widely accepted treatment modality. The conventional approach of an EVAR involves bilateral groin incisions to ...

The abdominal aorta begins after the aorta passes through a muscle called the diaphragm, at the level of the twelfth thoracic vertebra (a spot in the upper abdomen). From there, it travels downward, ...

Objective Examine if two inexpensive measures of atherosclerotic vascular diseases (ASVD), abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) provide complementary ...

Bicuspid aortic valves are associated with ascending aortic pathology, but their impact on long‐term outcomes, including aortic growth and adverse events, remains unclear. This prospective ...

Abstract: Objective: Computational modelling of ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms (ATAA) typically assumes zerodisplacement at the model's inlet. In this study we incorporated different types of ...

In 2010, the first practice guidelines for the diagnosis and management of thoracic aortic disease were jointly published by the American College of Cardiology Foundation (ACCF), American Heart ...
