📌 Aortic root up to STJ
📌 Dilatation per Body size & Pathology
>45mm significant dilatation
📌 Use nomograms to define dilation
📌 Describe Dilatation/segment/accurate measurement in the 📰

📌 Look for RF in Bicuspid Aortopathy Sx cut off 50-54mm
📌 Bicuspid Aortopathy without RF Sx cut off 55mm
📌 Some example of Fusiform AA dilatation VS Root dilatation

Dilatation Phenotypes
🎈Most common:AA dilatation in HTN, BAV
🎈 Marfanoid in Marfan, LDS, BAV root phenotype

Excellent practical points!
💥#echofirst Variation in measurements
(Leading edge-LE at end-diastole) allow ±2 mm
💥 #yesCCT /#WhyCMR must for follow up of dilated aorta
💥 Double oblique method - Measure on #SAX on #echofirst
