Effects of inaccuracies in arterial path length measurement on differences in MRI and tonometry measured pulse wave velocity

Abstract Background Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) and aortic PWV measured using MRI (MRI-PWV) show good correlation, but with a significant and consistent bias across studies. The aim of the current study was to evaluate whether the differences between cf.-PWV and MRI-PWV can be accou...
