Résumé

Arterial stiffening, which occurs when conduit arteries thicken and lose elasticity, has been associated with cardiovascular disease and increased risk for future cardiovascular events. Specifically, aortic stiffening plays a large role in the pathogenesis of vascular diseases, such as aneurysm formation and dissection. Current parameters used to assess risk of aortic rupture include absolute diameter and growth rate. However, these properties lack the reliability required to accurately risk-stratify patients. As with any elastic conduit, it is important to assess the biomechanical properties of the aorta in order to assess cardiovascular risk and prevent disease progression. There are several invasive and noninvasive methods by which stiffness of the large arteries can be assessed. Of particular interest are ultrasound-based methods, such as tissue Doppler imaging and speckle-tracking echocardiography, due to their noninvasive and feasible nature. In this review, we summarize studies demonstrating utility of noninvasive ultrasound imaging methods for measuring aortic biomechanics for the assessment and management of aortic aneurysms.
