Circulating biomarkers associated with aortic diameter in male and female patients with thoracic aortic disease: a cross-sectional study

Open Heart

Objective As thoracic aortic disease (TAD) is generally asymptomatic, biomarkers are needed to provide insight into early progression. We aimed to examine the association between circulating blood biomarkers and the maximal thoracic aortic diameter (TADmax). Results In total, 158 patients were included (median age 61 (50.3–68.8)
