The influence of baseline aortitis on aortic dilation risk in GCA: a multicentre imaging study
Aortic involvement is common at the time of GCA diagnosis, and baseline aortic diameter is the strongest predictor of future dilation in our cohort. These findings highlight the importance of early imaging assessment and longitudinal monitoring of aortic dimensions in patients with newly diagnosed GCA.
