## Abstract Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) is an independent determinant of cardiovascular risk. Although aortic stiffening with age is well documented, the interaction between aging and regional aortic PWV is still a debated question. We measured global and regional PWV in the descending aorta o

β¦ Synopsis
This paper is an analytical study on the pulse wave velocities in the aorta. In conformity to a physiologic state of loading, the distensibility of the vessel wall has been accounted for. The wall material is treated by using the theory of large elastic deformations. The orthotropicity of wall tissues and the effect of the surrounding tissues have been incorporated in the analysis which is based on the use of the strain energy function suggested by Vaishnav et al. Numerical values of the wave velocities of the canine middle descending thoracic aorta are computed by using the derived analytical expressions.

## Abstract ## Purpose: To assess the accuracy and repeatability of Fourier velocity encoded (FVE) Mβmode and twoβdimensional (2D) phase contrast with throughβplane velocity encoding (2DβPC) for pulse wave velocity (PWV) evaluation in the descending aorta using five different analysis techniques.
## Abstract The pulse wave velocity (PWV) of aortic blood flow is considered a surrogate for aortic compliance. A new method using phaseβcontrast (PC)βMRI is presented whereby the spatial and temporal profiles of axial velocity along the descending aorta can be analyzed. Seventeen young healthy vol
