METHODS: This research was conducted as a single-center and prospective study. A total of 83 patients were included in this study, including 44 consecutive patients with hypertension diagnosed and an ascending aortic diameter of 40 mm or more detected by 2D transthoracic echocardiography, and 39 controls with hypertension diagnosed and a normal ascending aortic diameter.  RESULTS: E\/e\u2019 ratio was found to be significantly higher in the aneurysm group (9.05\u00b12.24 vs. 7.75\u00b11.94, p&lt;0.05). The difference between peripheral and central systolic blood pressures was found to be significantly lower in the aneurysm group compared to the control group (9.3\u00b14.5 vs. 11.8\u00b14.1, p&lt;0.05, respectively). Among the examined arterial stiffness parameters, augmentation index values were significantly higher in the aneurysm group (27\u00b18.7 vs. 22.7\u00b19.6, p&lt;0.05), while pulse wave velocity did not show a statistically significant difference between the groups (8.85\u00b11.85 vs. 8.59\u00b11.19, p&gt;0.05, respectively).  CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that a potential relationship between the development of ascending aortic aneurysm and elevated aortic stiffness in hypertensive patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/1806-9282.20250481","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,15]],"date-time":"2025-12-15T15:06:37Z","timestamp":1765811197000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Evaluation
