November 1, 1995Journal of the American Society of EchocardiographyOpen Access

Age and body surface area were the most important determinants of aortic root size, yielding multivariable regression R2 values of 0.214 in men and 0.222 in women.

Overview

Supports updated aortic root nomograms incorporating age and BSA; leaves open contributions from additional determinants.

Study Design

Type

Cohort (n=3,249)

Structured PICO

Population

3,249 participants (1,433 male and 1,816 female) in the Framingham Heart Study and Framingham Offspring Study who were normotensive and free of clinically apparent heart disease at the baseline examination.

Outcome

Aortic root dimensions measured by M-mode echocardiographysurrogate

This study provides sex-, age-, and body size-specific reference nomograms for M-mode echocardiographic aortic root dimensions based on a large, healthy population cohort.

Vasan et al. (1995) conducted a cohort in Healthy (normotensive, free of heart disease) (n=3,249). M-mode echocardiography was evaluated on Aortic root dimensions. Age and body surface area were the most important determinants of aortic root size, yielding multivariable regression R2 values of 0.214 in men and 0.222 in women.
