May enable local aortic stiffness mapping; leaves open clinical validation and outcome impact.
A new method is proposed for measuring the local pulse wave velocity (PWV), which is an index of the hardness of the aortic wall. Using the method, high spatial resolution, which is necessary in the evaluation of local hardness, is attained.
