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.

## Abstract ## Purpose To evaluate aortic elasticity with MRI on young asymptomatic individuals with mutation of the smooth muscle myosin heavy chain in whom aortic enlargement is not present. ## Materials and Methods Aortic compliance, aortic distensibility, and pulse wave velocity (PWV) were s
