Aortic Length: Angiocardiographic Measurements

CHARLES T. DOTTER M.D.1; DOUGLAS J. ROBERTS JR. B.A.1; ISRAEL STEINBERG M.D.1

1 From the Department of Radiology of The New York Hospital—Cornell Medical Center.

Statistical analysis of measurement of aortic length made on 250 angiocardiograms indicates that arteriosclerosis, hypertension and syphilitic aortitis produce elongation of the aorta. Aortic length varies widely among normal individuals but is roughly ten times the caliber of the ascending aorta. Syphilitic aortitis produces disproportionate elongation of the ascending portion of the aorta as compared to arteriosclerosis or hypertension.
