Key result
End-diastolic ascending aorta diameters measured using the inner edge convention were significantly smaller than those obtained using the leading edge convention or at end-systole.
Why the study?
How do ascending aorta diameter measurements using inner edge convention compare to leading edge convention in healthy volunteers?
Observational (n=218)
How do ascending aorta diameter measurements using inner edge convention compare to leading edge convention in healthy volunteers?
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Echocardiographic measurements of the ascending aorta using the inner edge convention yield significantly smaller diameters than the leading edge convention, highlighting the need for convention-specific reference values.
Muraru et al. (2013) conducted an observational in Healthy volunteers (n=218). Inner edge (IE) convention vs. Leading edge (LE) convention was evaluated on Ascending aorta diameters (AAoD). End-diastolic ascending aorta diameters measured using the inner edge convention were significantly smaller than those obtained using the leading edge convention or at end-systole.
