Diagnosis and Surveillance of Aortic Root Dilation

Abstract: Aortic root dilation (AoD) imparts increased risk of aortic complications such as dissection, rupture, and valvular regurgitation. Multiple etiologies of AoD exist, such as Marfan syndrome, bicuspid aortic valve, Ehler-Danlos syndrome, infections, and idiopathic conditions. Due to the variety of clinical conditions that can result in AoD, and the risks associated with worsening AoD, a thorough understanding of the pathophysiology of AoD, noninvasive imaging modalities, and pharmacologic therapies is critical. … Show more

“…1 Greater than 80% of Marfan patients have aortic root dilatation or mitral valve prolapse by the age of 18. 2 Although aortic growth elevates risk of lethal and critical problems, 3 the life expectancy of Marfan patients improved significantly due to the development of early diagnosis, medical treatment and prophylactic aortic surgery. 1,4 However, cardiovascular complications are still the noteworthy issues.…”
