Aortic Stiffness in Patients With Genetic Aortopathies
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Pulsotonometry: Evaluation of arterial stiffness
Study summary
The goal of this observational study is to study arterial stiffness in patients with thoracic ascending aortic aneurysms (TAA), either syndromic or non-syndromic. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Stratification of aortic risk based on arterial stiffness; Compare measurements with morphological and haemodynamic features of the ascending thoracic aorta.
Participants will be asked to undergo non-invasive evaluation of blood pressure and arterial stiffness.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Pulse Wave Velocity — 18 months
Statistic analysis will be performed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS for Windows; v20.0; SPSS, Chicago, Illinois, USA). Continuous variables will be expressed as mean ± Standard Deviation, while qualitative variables will be expressed as a percentage. Qualitative data will be compared using Fisher's test or Pearson's χ2 test, when appropriate. Continuous variables by t-test or analysis of variance normalized for covariates. Continuous variables will be correlated by simple or multiple linear regression
