Abdominal Aorta Screening During Routine Transthoracic Echocardiography in Zanzibar, Tanzania: The Zanzibar Heart Survey

Abdominal aorta screening during routine TTE is feasible in Africa. Patients in Zanzibar have relatively smaller abdominal aorta diameters with a 1.6% prevalence of AAA. Abdominal aorta screening by routine echocardiography may be beneficial, provided that access to care and vascular surgery facility/expertise with appropriate follow-up is available for patients with AAA identified during screening.

Abstract

Abdominal aorta screening during routine TTE is feasible in Africa. Patients in Zanzibar have relatively smaller abdominal aorta diameters with a 1.6% prevalence of AAA. Abdominal aorta screening by routine echocardiography may be beneficial, provided that access to care and vascular surgery facility/expertise with appropriate follow-up is available for patients with AAA identified during screening.
