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 …

Of 130 patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) not treated surgically, 75 (58%)
were treated with statins. The sizes of the AAAs were 4.6±0.6 cm at baseline and 4.5±0.6 cm …

Study objectives We noted clinically that patients with aortic root aneurysms and dissections
seemed to have little systemic atherosclerosis. It is our objective to determine whether there …

Of 110 men (mean age 66 years) with an abdominal aortic aneurysm, 78 (71%) had
coronary artery disease (CAD), 50 (46%) had lower extremity peripheral arterial disease …

Background There is a strong correlation between risk factors for coronary artery disease
(CAD) and aortic aneurysm (AA). We aimed to investigate the prevalence and prognostic …

Objectives: Abdominal aortic aneurysms are associated with a sharply increased
cardiovascular risk. Cardiovascular risk management is therefore recommended in …

The first edition of the “Guidelines for Perioperative Cardiovascular Evaluation and
Management for Noncardiac Surgery” was created in 2002, 1 and was revised after five …

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

There has been increasing evidence that ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs)
protect against atherosclerosis. However, there have been no studies examining the …

OBJECTIVES The role of C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) as markers in the
prognosis of asymptomatic thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) patients has not been well …
