Previous evaluation of total aortic calcium score suggests that mutations promoting
ascending aortic aneurysm development may protect against atherosclerosis. However …

An ascending aortic aneurysm is a common and very much unwelcome diagnosis that has
never been associated with anything positive. We believe, however, that there actually is a …

OBJECTIVE: The contribution of atherosclerosis to the development of Abdominal Aortic
Aneurysms (AAA) is still controversial. Ultrasound scans can detect intima-media thickening …

Background and aims Individuals with atherosclerosis and stiffness often have increased
abdominal aortic diameters, but prospective evidence linking them to the risk of abdominal …

The pathophysiology of aortic aneurysm is complex and it has remained unclear how
frequently arteriomegaly, a diffuse dilatation of the artery, is associated with aneurysm …

Differences in atherosclerotic profiles between patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA)
and patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) have not been studied. We …

Background Although patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) frequently have
coexisting systemic atherosclerosis, the dilatative manifestation of AAA is the opposite of the …

Objective The pathogenesis of non-familial, sporadic ascending aortic aneurysms (SAAA) is
poorly understood, and the relationship between ascending aortic atherosclerosis and …

Ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms may be fatal upon rupture or dissection and remain a
leading cause of death in the developed world. Understanding the pathophysiology of the …

We read with great interest the recent publication by Dr. Lindholt [1]. In this study the severity
of aortic calcification was inversely correlated with the growth rate of small abdominal aortic …
