Increased Aortic Diameters on Multidetector CT Scan Are Independent Predictors of Incident Adverse Cardiovascular Events: The Framingham Heart Study

BACKGROUND: Adverse aortic remodeling, such as dilation, is associated with multiple cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. We sought to determine whether measures of enlarged aortic diameters improve prediction of incident adverse CVD events above standard CVD risk factors in a community-dwelli...
