Indications for surgical or endovascular repair are based on aneurysm location and risk factors for rupture such as aneurysm size, rate of growth, and associated conditions, while medical Who: Women aged 65+ Aneurysms present with varying risks of rupture, and patient-specific factors influence anticipated life expectancy, operative risk, and need to intervene. 1.5.2 When discussing aneurysm repair with people who have an unruptured AAA, explain the overall balance of benefits and risks with repair and with conservative management, based on their current health and their expected future health. Knowledge of reference ranges (normal values) for quantitative CMR is crucial to interpretation of results An AAA is typically defined as aortic enlargement with a diameter of 3.0 cm or larger. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) enables assessment and quantification of morphological and functional parameters of the heart, including chamber size and function, diameters of the aorta and pulmonary arteries, flow and myocardial relaxation times.
