Carotid intima-media thickness provides evidence that ascending aortic aneurysm protects against systemic atherosclerosis.

Cardiology - 1 Jan 2012

Abstract excerpt

Previous evaluation of total aortic calcium score suggests that mutations promoting ascending aortic aneurysm development may protect against atherosclerosis. However, calcium score is a late indicator of atherosclerosis. We evaluated carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), an earlier marker, to assess the degree of atherosclerosis in ascending aortic aneurysm patients compared to controls. Images of right and left...
