Comparison of an oscillometric method with cardiac magnetic resonance for the analysis of aortic pulse wave velocity.

OBJECTIVES:Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is the proposed gold-standard for the assessment of aortic elastic properties. The aim of this study was to compare aortic PWV determined by a recently developed oscillometric device with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). METHODS:PWV was assessed in 40 vo...
