Cardiac magnetic resonance assessment of aortic distensibility in prediabetic patients

Magnetic resonance assessment of aortic pulse wave velocity, aortic distensibility, and cardiac function in uncomplicated type 2 diabetes mellitus.

BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) may augment arterial stiffening and thereby modulates left ventricular (LV) function. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is well suited to assess aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) and aortic distensibility, both markers of arterial stiffness, without the use of geometric assumptions. Furthermore, CMR is a reliable method for assessing left ventricul...

Cardiac magnetic resonance assessed valve morphology and aortic distensibility in severe aortic stenosis

Methods 46 patients with severe AS without obstructive coronary artery disease awaiting aortic valve replacement were studied. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) was used to assess aortic valve area using the continuity equation, peak aortic velocity and mean valve gradient. CMR was used to assess aortic valve morphology and to enable planimetry of aortic valve area. Two SSFP cines of the aor...

Aortic distensibility and stiffness index measured by magnetic resonance imaging in patients with Marfan's syndrome.

OBJECTIVES To use magnetic resonance imaging to measure the elastic properties of the aorta of adults with Marfan's syndrome and to compare these results with those obtained by echocardiography. PATIENTS AND METHODS 12 patients with Marfan's syndrome and 12 controls matched for age. Transverse luminal areas of the ascending and descending aorta were measured using electrocardiographic gated m...
