## Abstract ## Purpose To validate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessment of aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV~MRI~) with PWV determined from invasive intraβaortic pressure measurements (PWV~INV~) and to test the reproducibility of the measurement by MRI. ## Materials and Methods PWV~MRI~ was
Pulmonary pulse wave velocity has proven to be an excellent indicator of pulmonary vascular wall stiffness. In this study a novel MRI method was evaluated, showing rapid assessment of pulmonary pulse wave velocity with excellent repeatability and observer reproducibility. No disclosures.
## Abstract ## Purpose: To study ageβrelated change in aortic stiffness in patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS) versus healthy volunteers using velocityβencoded (VE) MRI. ## Materials and Methods: Twentyβfive MFS patients (age range, 18β63 years; mean age 36 Β± 14 years, 13 men) and 25 ageβ/gender
## 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
