Correlates of aortic root size in a population-based screening by hand-held echocardiography: "The Heart in the City" Study.
Our experience underscores the ability of hand-held echocardiography to identify the association between aortic root dilation and left ventricular mass in a population-based screening among normotensive and hypertensive participants of "The Heart in the City", a project designed to detect pre-clinical echocardiographic markers of heart failure by hand-held echocardiography.
