Why the study?
Does a one-dimensional MR method based on aortic blood displacement improve the assessment of aortic stiffness compared to a velocity-based method in adults?

Comparison
One-dimensional MR method for evaluating aortic… vs Similar MR method based on aortic blood velocity
Design
Cross-sectional
Follow-up
single MR session

Displacement-based MR may reduce variability in elderly aortic stiffness assessment; leaves open whether it enhances risk stratification.
Does a one-dimensional MR method based on aortic blood displacement improve the assessment of aortic stiffness compared to a velocity-based method in adults?
A one-dimensional MR method based on aortic blood displacement provides superior assessment of aortic stiffness in elderly patients compared to velocity-based methods.
