Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to assess aortic stiffness in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), and to determine if differences exist among the BAV phenotypes. Stiffness was measured by pulse wave velocity (PWV) determined using velocity-encoded magnetic resonance imaging (VENC-MRI). VENC-MRI was performed in 100 BAV patients and 45 normal controls. PWV was determined between the mid ascending and mid...
