Why the study?
Automated analysis of cardiovascular magnetic resonance allows aortic distensibility assessment in large populations, but how its prediction of cardiovascular events compares with other simple measures of aortic stiffness remained to be determined.
Does automated cardiovascular magnetic resonance-derived aortic distensibility predict incident cardiovascular events better than brachial pulse pressure or stiffness index in a large population?
Does automated cardiovascular magnetic resonance-derived aortic distensibility predict incident cardiovascular events better than brachial pulse pressure or stiffness index in a large population?
Automated CMR-derived aortic distensibility predicts new-onset cardiovascular events, outperforming simple measures like pulse pressure and stiffness index.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support CMR distensibility as a research biomarker; leaves open added clinical value beyond pulse pressure.
