Demographical and Clinical Factors Predictive for Aortic Dilatation. When should we be Concerned about the Size? [PDF]

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine
Background: Thoracic aortic aneurysms are often an accidental finding and result from a degenerative process. Medical therapy includes pharmacological control of arterial hypertension and smoking cessation, that slows the growth of aneurysms.
