Genome-wide associations of aortic distensibility suggest causality for aortic aneurysms and brain white matter hyperintensities

Aortic dimensions and distensibility are key risk factors for aortic aneurysms and dissections, as well as for other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. We present genome-wide associations of ascending and descending aortic distensibility and area derived from cardiac magnetic resonance ima...
