Measuring aortic pulse wave velocity using high-field cardiovascular magnetic resonance: comparison of techniques
BACKGROUND: The assessment of arterial stiffness is increasingly used for evaluating patients with different cardiovascular diseases as the mechanical properties of major arteries are often altered. Aortic stiffness can be noninvasively estimated by measuring pulse wave velocity (PWV). Several metho...
