Rapid aortic wave velocity measurement with MR imaging.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The utility of a one-dimensional magnetic resonance (MR) sequence to rapidly and accurately measure wave velocity in vivo was evaluated. Studies were conducted in the thoracic aortas of 20 healthy subjects of varying age, and the MR method was validated in a compliant tube model. Aortic wave velocity ranged from 3.8 to 9.7 m/sec and demonstrated a positive correlation with subjects' age. Peak blood velocity ranged from 47 to 125 cm/sec and exhibited a strong negative correlation with subjects' age.

MR elastography as a method to estimate aortic stiffness and its comparison against MR based pulse wave velocity measurement
Background Arterial (aortic) stiffness is a well-recognized pathophysiological change that plays a significant role in the determination of risk factors for various cardiovascular diseases [1]. Measurement of arterial stiffness using pulse wave velocity (PWV) is the gold standard among non-invasive modalities. Recently, a novel non-invasive MRI based technique known as magnetic resonance elasto...
متن کاملBiomarkers of hemodynamic stress and aortic stiffness post-STEMI: a cross-sectional analysis
Methods Fifty-four patients four months after acute STEMI were enrolled in this cross-sectional, single-center study. Nterminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), mid-regional pro-A-type natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP) and mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM) levels were measured by established assays. Aortic stiffness was assessed by the measurement of pulse wave velocity using...
متن کاملReal time phase encoded MR for assessment of acute variability of central pulse wave velocity
Background The variability of pulse wave velocity (PWV) with changing arterial wall stress may reflect the degree of aortic stiffness independent of arterial pressure. We implemented a real-time MR flow technique so as to be able to assess acute changes in PWV due to affected arterial blood and/or intra thoracic pressure. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of rapid PWV assessment ...
متن کاملRapid measurement of aortic wave velocity: in vivo evaluation.
A 1D MR sequence has been developed for determining aortic flow wave velocity (WV), a metric of arterial compliance, within a single cardiac cycle. Studies were carried out on the thoracic aortas of 10 normal volunteers. Correlative WV data were also acquired from each subject using a conventional phase-velocity 2D mapping technique. Aortic WV in this cohort was found to range from 411 to 714 c...

Methods We retrospectively identified 97 consecutive patients with surgically corrected TOF and 26 controls without TOF or aortic or cardiac abnormalities who underwent cardiac MR evaluation. The ascending aortic diameter was measured at four levels and diameter ratios were calculated for morphologic characterization. Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) and aortic regurgitation were calculated fro...
