Screening for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm during Transthoracic Echocardiography in Patients with Significant Coronary Artery Disease
PURPOSE Coronary artery disease (CAD) shares several risk factors with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). We evaluated the prevalence during transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and risk factors of AAA in patients with CAD. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 1300 CAD patients were screened from August 2009 to May 2010, and measurement of abdominal aorta size was feasible in 920 patients (71%) at ...
متن کامل[Screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm by means of transthoracic echocardiography].
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The increasing incidence of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), mainly due to the aging population, and its mortality of 85-90% in the event of rupture justify opting for early diagnosis and elective treatment to repair it. The main aim of this paper is to analyze the utility of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in the study of infrarenal aorta and AAA screening. M...
متن کاملVascular ultrasound screening for asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm.
This health technology assessment examines vascular ultrasound screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in asymptomatic populations. Screening reduces the incidence of AAA ruptures, rates of emergency surgical repair and AAA-attributable mortality in males ages 65 to 74. The benefit of screening women has not been established. Ontario data suggest that AAA is underdiagnosed in women, and t...
متن کاملClinical utility of transthoracic echocardiography for screening abdominal aortic aneurysm: a prospective study in a Japanese population
BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical utility of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) for screening abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and to identify important TTE indices associated with AAA in a Japanese population. METHODS We prospectively studied 1912 patients who were referred for TTE. AAA was defined as ≥ 30 mm in size. RESULTS The abdominal aorta was visu...
متن کاملScreening for abdominal aortic aneurysm in asymptomatic at-risk patients using emergency ultrasound.
OBJECTIVE Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a deadly but often clinically silent disease. Patients at increased risk are elderly men with risk factors for vascular disease who may not have adequate screening through primary care. We sought to examine the prevalence and feasibility of screening for AAA in at-risk patients presenting for unrelated complaints using emergency physician-performed b...
