Determination of aortic stiffness using 4D flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance - a population-based study

Abstract Background Increased aortic stiffness is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease. Optimal measurement is highly beneficial for the detection of atherosclerosis and the management of patients at risk. Thus, it was our purpose to selectively measure aortic stiffness using a novel i...
