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.

Inclusion Criteria: * Subjects with AAT, either syndromic or non syndromic; * Signed informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with early menopause and/or osteoporosis, rheumatic heart disease and active malignant tumours; * Patients with acute and chronic inflammatory conditions such as: chronic liver disease, chronic renal insufficiency and diseases affecting the thyroid system; * Seropositivity to HIV, HCV, HBsAg and SARS-CoV-2; * Pregnancy

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
