Small infrarenal Aortic size - what does this imply?

While a relationship between large infrarenal aortic diameter and both cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevalence and all-cause mortality has been previously suggested, there is also evidence that small aortic size may also be associated with increased CVD risk. We examined a total of 4882 elderly (>50 years) participants (mean age 69.4) by duplex ultrasound to assess infrarenal abdominal aortic diameters and correlated these with each individual's...
