Normal and reference values for cardiovascular magnetic resonance-based pulse wave velocity in the middle-aged general population

Abstract Background Aortic stiffness, assessed through pulse wave velocity (PWV), is an independent predictor for cardiovascular disease risk. However, the scarce availability of normal and reference values for cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) based PWV is limiting clinical implementa...
