In our large asymptomatic Asian population, echocardiography-defined aortic root dilation was associated with aging and hypertension and were correlated modestly with computed tomography measures. A larger indexed aortic diameter appeared to be a useful indicator in identifying baseline abnormal diastolic dysfunction.
