Aortic unfolding determined using non-contrast cardiac computed tomography: correlations with age and coronary artery calcium score.
OBJECTIVE: Aortic unfolding occurs with aging and reflects proximal aortic dilation, aortic arch widening, and decreased curvature. This study 1) evaluated the relationship between aortic unfolding measured using non-contrast cardiac-gated computed tomography (CT) and age, 2) assessed factors influe...
