The association between cardiac magnetic resonance-derived aortic stiffness parameters and aortic dilation in young adults with bicuspid aortic valve: With and without coarctation of aorta

The association between cardiac magnetic resonance-derived aortic stiffness parameters and aortic dilation in young adults with bicuspid aortic valve: With and without coarctation of aorta

Background: Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is associated with progressive aortic dilation. Studies in aortopathies have shown a correlation between increased aortic stiffness and aortic dilation. We aimed to evaluate aortic stiffness measures as predictors of progressive aortic dilation by cardiac magn...
