Table 2:

Aortic dimensions at baseline and growth rates of the aorta. Mean AAo is calculated from the average of sino-tubular junction, Mid AAo and proximal arch.

	Aortic dimension at baseline (mm)	Growth rate (mm/y)
Sinus of Valsalva	37.0 ± 4.2	0.14 ± 0.23
Sino-tubular junction	32.5 ± 4.2	0.17 ± 0.24
Mid AAo	38.2 ± 5.6	0.31 ± 0.25
Proximal arch	30.7 ± 4.0	0.25 ± 0.24
Mid arch	24.4 ± 2.9	0.16 ± 0.19
Isthmus	22.1 ± 2.8	0.16 ± 0.18
Mid DAo	21.5 ± 2.7	0.19 ± 0.19
Diaphragmatic aorta	20.1 ± 2.5	0.18 ± 0.19
Mean AAo	33.8 ± 4.1	0.24 ± 0.20

AAo: Ascending aorta; DAo: Descending aorta
