Important #JACCImaging study of ~7.4K patients with ascending aortopathy comparing TTE with gated CTA.
TTE underestimated aortic size in:
🔹 58% of aortic roots
🔹 37% of mid-ascending aortas
The discrepancy was particularly important with larger aneurysms.
Beyond absolute diameter, height-indexed aortic diameter and cross-sectional area/height may improve risk stratification.
⭐️ When the aorta is getting large, cross-sectional imaging matters.
