Sex-Specific Parameters of Ascending Aorta, Descending Aorta and Pulmonary Trunk by Computed Tomographic Angiography with Impact of Age, Hypertension, Smoking and Diabetes
This study aims at establishing whether transverse diameter (TD) and cross sectional-area (CSA) of the ascending aorta (AA), descending aorta (DA) and pulmonary trunk (PT) measured by computerized tomographic angiography (CTA) altered by sex, age, hypertension, smoking and diabetes. CTA examinations...
