Magnetic resonance assessment of aortic stiffness in diabetes and cardiovascular disease

Arterial stiffness has been demonstrated to predict cardiovascular morbidity above and beyond traditional risk factors and can be estimated from measurements such as pulse wave velocity (PWV). Aortic PWV can be estimated from the carotid and femoral sites (CFPWV) by applanation tonometry and ultraso...
