Infrarenal aortic diameter predicts all-cause mortality.
OBJECTIVE To assess the relationship between infrarenal aortic diameter and subsequent all-cause mortality in men aged 65 years or older. METHODS AND RESULTS Aortic diameter was measured using ultrasound in 12 203 men aged 65 to 83 years as part of a trial of screening for abdominal aortic aneurysms. A range of cardiovascular risk factors was also documented. Mortality over the next 3 to 7 ye...
متن کاملCarotid atherosclerosis and relation to growth of infrarenal aortic diameter and follow-up diameter: the Tromsø Study.
OBJECTIVES This research aims to study how carotid atherosclerosis is related to growth of infrarenal aortic diameter and aneurysmal formation. DESIGN Population-based follow-up study. MATERIALS AND METHODS At baseline, ultrasound examination of the carotid artery and the abdominal aorta was performed in 4241 persons from a general population with no evidence of abdominal aortic aneurysm (A...
متن کاملAtypical infrarenal aortic coarctation
A 56-year-old man presented with progressive lower extremity claudication, rest and night pain, and severe dyspnea on exertion. Past history included chronic back pain, hypertension, coronary artery disease, and obstructive sleep apnea. Cardiac catheterization was performed and showed a diminutive narrow aorta originating at the renal level and extending distally in the midline (A-D). This was ...
متن کاملA primer on infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms
Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms have an alarmingly high mortality rate that often exceeds 50%, even when patients survive long enough to be transported to hospitals. Historical data have shown that ruptures are especially likely to occur with aneurysms measuring ≥6 cm in diameter, but there are so many exceptions to this that several randomized clinical trials have been done in an attempt t...
متن کاملAbdominal Aortic Aneurysms, Increasing Infrarenal Aortic Diameter, and Risk of Total Mortality and Incident Cardiovascular Disease Events
Background—Long-term data describing small abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) and increasing infrarenal aortic diameters and their relationship to future surgical repair, total mortality, and incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) events, particularly among women, are sparse. Methods and Results—In 1992 to 1993, 4734 Cardiovascular Health Study participants 65 years old had an abdominal aortic ul...
