By using a comprehensive MRI-approach in patients with Marfan syndrome, increased regional pulse wave velocity in the ascending aorta can predict in 42% of the cases aortic luminal growth in the ascending aorta, while normal PWV can predict in 89% absence of luminal growth.
## Background Arterial stiffness is considered as an independent predictor of cardiovascular mortality, and is increasingly used in clinical practice. This study aimed at evaluating the consistency of the automated estimation of regional and local aortic stiffness indices from cardiovascular magnet
