Ascending aortic (AoAsc) dilatation can lead to acute aortic syndromes and has been described in various familial cardiac diseases. Its prevalence and clinical significance in patients with noncompaction cardiomyopathy (NCCM) are however unknown. Establishing the prevalence can facilitate recommendations on routine screening in NCCM.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alexander L A Vanmaele"

  • - Alexander L A Vanmaele's recent research focuses on the prevalence and clinical significance of ascending aortic dilatation in patients with noncompaction cardiomyopathy (NCCM), a condition associated with various familial cardiac diseases.
  • - The study highlights that while ascending aortic dilatation can lead to serious acute aortic syndromes, its prevalence and implications in NCCM patients were previously unexamined, indicating a gap in current cardiovascular health knowledge.
  • - By establishing the prevalence of ascending aortic dilatation in NCCM, the research aims to inform routine screening recommendations, potentially improving patient outcomes in this at-risk population.
