Quantification of aortic pulse wave velocity from a population based cohort: a fully automatic method

Quantification of aortic pulse wave velocity from a population based cohort: a fully automatic method

Abstract Background Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) is an indicator of aortic stiffness and is used as a predictor of adverse cardiovascular events. PWV can be non-invasively assessed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). PWV computation requires two components, the length of the aortic arch and...
