A smaller heart-aorta-angle associates with ascending aortic dilatation and increases wall shear stress

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the orientation of the heart, measured as an angle between the long axis of the heart and ascending aorta midline (heart-aorta-angle, HAA), associates with ascending aortic (AA) dilatation. Furthermore, the association between HAA and wall sh...
