Genomic insights in ascending aortic size and distensibility
28 Dec 2021
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Alterations in the anatomic and biomechanical properties of the ascending aorta (AAo) can give rise to various vascular pathologies. The aim of the current study is to gain additional insights in the biology of the AAo size and function. METHODS: We developed an AI based analysis pipeline for the segmentation of the AAo, and the extraction of AAO parameters. We then performed genome-wide association...
