Article Synopsis
- Multiple studies suggest that pulse pressure (PP) is a strong indicator of aortic calcification, but this study is the first to examine PP's correlation with aortic calcification at specific segments.
- The research involved 37 patients whose aortic PP was measured and compared across different aortic segments (ascending, arch, descending) for calcification.
- Results showed that calcification was most prevalent in the descending aorta, with a significant correlation between higher PP and lower compliance, especially in this segment, indicating its key role in influencing PP compared to other aortic sections.
