Observatory of Screening Aneurysms of the Abdominal Aorta During Echocardiography. National Epidemiological Survey

NCT01390740 | Completed DMC

• 1 other identifier: 10 586
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 1,412
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

Study of the prevalence of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) (\> 3 cm) in patients with echocardiography (transthoracic or) during a specific day, with cardiologists in France. This is a cross-sectional epidemiological investigation, assembling evidence from a routine ultrasound screening for AAA at the waning of echocardiograms performed during a specific day. The study will be offered a list of centers selected by the Scientific Committee in the complete list of locations being in France, the subsidiary of echocardiography Echocardiography of French Society of Cardiology. These centers will be 500 in number representative of the French centers, geographically and by type of centers.

Study Population

The study proposed a list of centers selected by the Scientific Committee in the complete list of locations being in France, the subsidiary of echocardiography Echocardiography of the French Society of Cardiology. These centers number 500 are representative of the French centers, geographically and by type of centers. This is a cross-sectional epidemiological investigation, assembling evidence from a routine ultrasound screening for AAA at the waning of echocardiograms performed during a specific day

You may qualify if:

• Any patient \> 65 years,
• Have an echocardiogram, whatever the reason,
• Having agreed to participate in the study.

You may not qualify if:

• Patients already operated in the aorta (AAA, PAD, stent, ...)
• Patient refusal to participate in the study
