Can cardiovascular magnetic resonance-derived aortic distensibility accurately measure regional arterial stiffness in the elderly?
CMR-derived aortic distensibility is an accurate tool for evaluating regional arterial stiffness, demonstrating preferential proximal aortic stiffening in the elderly.
Nelson et al. (2009) studied this question.
