1/2⭐️⭐️E-pub alert! After establishing the utility of measured #aorticstiffness in predicting future #TAA growth, @BoczarKevin and our team assessed whether mathematically estimated aortic PWV (no need for equipment) could do the same. The answer? YES! bit.ly/3Q5xNpi

Research by @BoczarKevin and @thaiscoutinhoCV shows that measures of aortic stiffness and pulsatile arterial load are associated with future #TAA expansion. These may help improve assessment of disease activity and refine risk stratification in patients. ow.ly/JMYC30roFaD

Disappointing news for Docycycline in AAA - there was a potential effect on matrix remodeling in theory, but did not pan out clinically or at the molecular level. @OuzounianMD @jenn_cy_chung @JoshuaBeckmanMD @MohammadAZafar @IHamamsy

Congrats @NSantiCV for presenting our data and showing how arterial age is relevant for assessing disease activity and predicting future #TAA expansion. How the aorta ages is important for all of us, but particularly interesting among those with aortopathy. @AnastasiaSMihai
