Methods: 928 consecutive patients were evaluated. Objective: We evaluated the association of AD at the descending thoracic aorta (AD desc) with the primary outcome of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke or coronary revascularization in patients referred for a cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) study. There is scant data on the association between AD measured within the descending thoracic aorta and CV outcomes.
