Point-of-Care Focused Cardiac Ultrasound in Assessing the Thoracic Aorta

NCT01671618 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 97

Last updated 2016-06-30

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this prospective study is to compare point-of-care focused cardiac ultrasound (FOCUS) to thoracic computed tomographic angiography (CTA) in the measurement of ascending aortic dimensions. We hypothesize that FOCUS will demonstrate good agreement with CTA in the measurement of ascending aortic dimensions and accurately detect dilation and aneurysmal disease.
