Correlation between coronary artery calcium score and aorta diameter in population with long-standing hypertension using noncontrast CT scan

Abstract: Background: Early detection of aortic aneurysms is challenging in hypertensive patients due to the high risk of life-threatening ruptures. Limited studies on the relationship between coronary artery calcium and aortic diameter are present. This study evaluated the correlation between coronary artery calcium score (CACS) and maximal thoracic and abdominal aortic diameters in hypertensive patients, using a noncontrast CT scan. Material and methods: We prospectively enrolled 180 hypertensive patients older than 4… Show more
