Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: To examine the diameter and distensibility of the abdominal aorta in patients with severe alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency, and to compare the results with those of normal subjects. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Abdominal aortic diameter and stiffness (beta) was measured using echo-tracking sonography in 19 men (mean age 50, range 25-79) and 17 women (mean age 46, range 26-62) with severe alpha 2-antitrypsin...
