Ascending aortic diameter predicts aortic dissection better than size index in Turner syndrome

30 Nov 2022

Among women with Turner syndrome (TS), aortic dissection appears to be more correlated with the ascending aortic diameter (AAD) than with aortic size index (ASI), a new study has found. TS-specific z-score is also a reliable predictor of dissection.
