5.4 THE REPEATABILITY AND VALIDITY OF PULSE WAVE VELOCITY MEASURED USING PHASE CONTRAST MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING
Background: Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) is an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk. Phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PCMRI) is a recent technique that allows PWV to be measured along the entire aorta (aPWVMRI), as well as in regions of interest. The aim of this study was to te...
