Reference Ranges for Ascending Aorta Dimensions in Iranian Adults Assessed by 2D Echocardiography: Effect of Sex, Age, and Anthropometric Factors
This study provided detailed echocardiographic reference values for aortic dimensions in the Iranian population and compared them across various age groups, genders, and body mass index (BMI) categories. Also, the findings emphasize the impact of aging on aortic values. The limited external validity of our single-center, hospital-based study suggests that future multicenter research is necessary to confirm our findings and improve their generalizability.
