Genetic predisposition and risk factors such as hypertension and smoking can instigate the
development of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA), which can lead to highly lethal aortic wall …

Background Aortic dilations (ectasias and aneurysms) may occur on any segment of the
aorta. Pathogenesis varies between locations, suggesting that etiology and risk factors may …

Dilation of the proximal aorta is a common clinical manifestation in hypertensive patients.
Although it is straightforward to link hypertension with proximal aortic dilation, previous …

We have previously shown that circulating levels of tetrahydrobiopterin (H 4 B) function as a
robust biomarker for aortic aneurysms in several independent animal models. In the present …

Background Screening protocols do not exist for ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms
(ATAAs). A risk prediction algorithm may aid targeted screening of patients with an …

Objective Intracranial aneurysms of patients with comorbidities like hypertension and atrial
fibrillation have elevated rupture risk. Besides, the height and width of the aneurysm sacs …

Objective We investigated the association between new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) and risk
of stroke and myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysmal (AAA) …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) confers a major healthcare burden from hospitalisations
and AF-related complications, such as stroke and heart failure. We performed an electronic …

Background The prognostic impact of atrial fibrillation (AF) and oral anticoagulation (OAC)
therapy in patients with type B acute aortic dissection (AAD) remains unclear. Therefore, we …

Objectives A current and ongoing challenge is to reduce patient mortality after endovascular
abdominal aortic repair (EVAR). This study aimed to assess the predictors of all-cause …
