Sponsor

IRCCS Policlinico S. Donato

Enrollment

250 participants

Start Date

Feb 15, 2023

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

aortic stiffness Rare Diseases Connective Tissue Defect

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to study arterial stiffness in patients with thoracic ascending aortic aneurysms (TAA), either syndromic or non-syndromic. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Stratification of aortic risk based on arterial stiffness; Compare measurements with morphological and haemodynamic features of the ascending thoracic aorta. Participants will be asked to undergo non-invasive evaluation of blood pressure and arterial stiffness.
