Résumé
Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) have risk factors that predispose to thoracic aneurysmal disease (TAD) and atherosclerosis. In this study in patients with AF, we assessed the occurrence of incidental TAD and assessed if a validated predictive score used to predict AF, the CHARGE-AF score, was associated with greater aortic dimensions. We also assessed the prevalence of coronary calcification. We conducted a cross-sectional study of 1,000 consecutive patients with AF undergoing chest multidetector CT during evaluation for pulmonary vein isolation. A dilated aortic root or ascending aorta (AA, dimension/ body surface area >2.05 cm/m
