3.2 First Genome-Wide Association Study of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Derived Aortic Distensibility Reveals 7 Loci

3.2 First Genome-Wide Association Study of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Derived Aortic Distensibility Reveals 7 Loci

Background: Although arterial stiffness has demonstrated moderate heritability, our knowledge of the genes modulating arterial stiffness is still limited. We conducted genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of aortic distensibility (AoD) in both ascending (AA) and proximal descending aorta (PDA) to...
