Aortic Dilatation and Dissection in Turner Syndrome
Abstract
Background— The risk for aortic dissection is increased among relatively young women with Turner syndrome (TS). It is unknown whether aortic dilatation precedes acute aortic dissection in TS and, if so, what specific diameter predicts impending deterioration. Methods and Results— Study subjects included 166 adult volunteers with TS (average age, 36.2 years) who were not selected for cardiovascular disease and 26 healthy female control subjects. Ascending and descending aortic diameters were measured by magnetic resonance imaging at the right pulmonary artery. TS women were on average 20 cm shorter, yet average aortic diameters were identical in the 2 groups. Ascending aortic diameters normalized to body surface area (aortic size index) were significantly greater in TS, and ≈32% of TS women had values greater than the 95th percentile of 2.0 cm/m 2 . Ascending diameter/descending diameter ratios also were significantly greater in the TS group. During ≈3 years of follow-up, aortic dissections occurred in 3 women with TS, for an annualized rate of 618 cases/100 000 woman-years. These 3 subjects had ascending aortic diameters of 3.7 to 4.8 cm and aortic size indices >2.5 cm/m 2 . Conclusions— The risk for aortic dissection is greatly increased in young women with TS. Because of their small stature, ascending aortic diameters of <5 cm may represent significant dilatation; thus, the use of aortic size index is preferred. Individuals with a dilated ascending aorta defined as aortic size index >2.0 cm/m 2 require close cardiovascular surveillance. Those with aortic size index ≥2.5 cm/m 2 are at highest risk for aortic dissection.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
