The chest roentgenograms of 691 normal, arteriosclerotic and hypertensive patients have been reviewed for measurements of the aortic knob. There is a significant correlation between the width of the aorta and age, but no such correlation was found with the degree of hypertension. The comparison between average widths of the aorta in the 3 categories of subjects has shown its increase in arteriosclerotic and hypertensive patients.
对691名正常、动脉硬化和高血压患者的胸部X光片进行了回顾，以测量主动脉结。主动脉宽度与年龄之间存在显著相关性，但未发现与高血压程度有此类相关性。对这三类受试者的主动脉平均宽度进行比较后发现，动脉硬化和高血压患者的主动脉宽度有所增加。
