Aortic Root Remodeling as an Indicator for Diastolic Dysfunction and Normative Ranges in Asians: Comparison and Validation with Multidetector Computed Tomography

Aortic Root Remodeling as an Indicator for Diastolic Dysfunction and Normative Ranges in Asians: Comparison and Validation with Multidetector Computed Tomography

Background: The aortic root diameter (AoD) has been shown to be a marker of cardiovascular risk and heart failure (HF). Data regarding the normal reference ranges in Asians and their correlates with diastolic dysfunction using contemporary guidelines remain largely unexplored. Methods: Among 5343 co...
