Incremental prognostic value of aortic stiffness in addition to myocardial ischemia by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging
Abstract Background Aortic stiffness is an independent predictor of cardiovascular (CV) events and mortality. However, no data exists for the prognosis of combined aortic stiffness and myocardial ischemia. Using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging, we assessed the association of aortic stiffnes...
