We read with great interest the article from Lønne-bakken et al.[1], indicating small aortic root
dilatation (ARD) was independently associated with increased 2-element windkessel model …

Objectives: The relation between aortic root dimension (ARD) and measures of arterial
stiffness is uncertain. Accordingly, we studied the relation between ARD and an estimate of …

Background: In preliminary analysis in a population-based study larger aortic root dimension
(ARD) was associated with higher stroke volume, diastolic blood pressure (BP) and heart …

Higher central pulse pressure is associated with higher carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity
(CFPWV) and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). A smaller aortic root …

BACKGROUND The gender-related change in aortic morphology by arterial stiffness has not
been well studied. This study was performed to investigate the association between brachial …

We have read with a great interest the article by Mulé et al.[1] on the association between
glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and aortic root dilatation (ARD) in 611 hypertensive patients …

Introduction: Anatomic changes of the aortic root are likely to reflect effects of hypertension
and atherosclerosis, some data are available on the predictive value of aortic root dimension …

BACKGROUND: Whether an association exists between hypertension and aortic root (AR)
dilatation is uncertain, due to complex interaction among demographic and hemodynamic …

Objective To analyze the relation among aortic root dimension (ARD) measured by
echocardiography, cardiovascular disease risk factors and cardiovascular disease in adult …

The structural and functional characteristics of ascend-ing aorta, receiving ejected volume at
each beat, are important biological factors in the pathophysiology of arterial hypertension …
