Should not change screening practices; leaves open whether aortic diameter predicts peripheral arterial disease in elderly hypertensives.
Background: Abdominal Aortic Diameter (AAD) is a crucial measurement in diagnosing Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm, a life threatening condition that is closely linked to Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD). Aim: To recognize the relationship between AAD and PAD in asymptomatic uncomplicated hypertensive elderly.
