Key result
Increased proximal aortic diameter was significantly associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular events in black participants (HR per 1-cm increase 1.72; 95% CI 1.10-2.69; P<0.05).
Why the study?
Does increased proximal aortic diameter increase the risk of cardiovascular events in black participants without prior cardiovascular disease?
Cohort (n=3,018)
Does increased proximal aortic diameter increase the risk of cardiovascular events in black participants without prior cardiovascular disease?
Hazard Ratio: 1.72 (95% CI 1.1–2.69)
p-value: p=<0.05
Increased proximal aortic diameter measured by echocardiography is an independent predictor of incident cardiovascular events in black individuals without prior cardiovascular disease.

Suggests echocardiographic aortic diameter may help stratify cardiovascular risk in Black patients without prior disease; leaves.
Kamimura et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in No prior cardiovascular disease (n=3,018). Increased proximal aortic diameter vs. Lower proximal aortic diameter was evaluated on Cardiovascular events (incident myocardial infarction, fatal coronary artery disease, stroke, or heart failure hospitalization) (HR 1.72, 95% CI 1.10-2.69, p=<0.05). Increased proximal aortic diameter was significantly associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular events in black participants (HR per 1-cm increase 1.72; 95% CI 1.10-2.69; P<0.05).
