Aortic Root Dilatation in African Hypertensives Subjects: Frequency of Occurrence and Associations: A Multicentre Echocardiographic Survey
Abstract
Aortic Root Dilatation in African Hypertensives Subjects: Frequency of Occurrence and Associations: A Multicentre Echocardiographic Survey
Anecdotal reports suggest that hypertension is associated with an increased predisposition to aortic root dilatation (ARD). Reports on epidemiology of ARD and demographic or clinical associations among African hypertensive subjects are scarce. This study aimed to describe the prevalence of ARD among Nigerian hypertensive subjects.
