Why the study?
Does MRI-measured aortic wall thickness vary by age, sex, and race in adults without clinical cardiovascular disease?
Does MRI-measured aortic wall thickness vary by age, sex, and race in adults without clinical cardiovascular disease?
MRI is a feasible and reproducible method for measuring aortic wall thickness, demonstrating that subclinical atherosclerosis burden varies significantly by age, sex, and race.
