Aortic valve sclerosis and aortic atherosclerosis: Different manifestations of the same disease? Insights from a population-based study
2001, Journal of the American College of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :“Atherosclerosis” was defined as irregular intimal thickening (≥2 mm) with increased echogenicity. “Sinotubular junction sclerosis” was defined as focal, highly-echogenic thickening (≥2 mm) of the sinotubular junction (14). The presence of aortic atherosclerosis (any degree of atherosclerosis in any segment of the thoracic aorta), proximal atherosclerosis (sinotubular junction sclerosis and atherosclerosis of the ascending aorta) and severe atherosclerosis (maximal plaque thickness ≥4 mm [15], plaque thickness ≥6 mm and mobile debris in any segment of the thoracic aorta) was determined.
