Quantitative aortic magnetic resonance (MR) blood flow imaging is a rapidly advancing
technique that is likely to impact clinical medicine in the near future. The acquisition of …

Background The prevalence of valvular aortic stenosis (AS) increases as the population
ages. Echocardiographic measurements of peak jet velocity (Vpeak), mean pressure …

MRI in clinical practice has become a reality in recent years. Use of 4D flow MRI is also
aligned to current efforts in our field toward high throughput and rapid acquisitions, providing …

Background 4D flow MRI provide a wonderfully rich set of data for diagnosis and
understanding of cardiac disease. Interpretation of this wealth of data can be challenging …

Purpose: To 1) investigate the two-center feasibility of highly kt accelerated 2-minute aortic
4D flow MRI; 2) evaluate its performance for the quantification of velocities and wall shear …

Background Arterial pulse wave velocity (PWV) is associated with increased mortality in
aging and disease. Several studies have shown the accuracy of applanation tonometry …

Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is the most prevalent valvular heart disease in developed
countries and is associated with the development of severe secondary complications such …

Background: Aortic stiffness is an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk and all-cause
mortality. It can add to the increased afterload seen in aortic stenosis (AS), the most common …

Objectives: Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the standard technique for assessing
aortic stenosis (AS), with effective orifice area (EOA) recommended for grading severity …

Purpose: In aortic stenosis (AS), the discrepancy between moderately accelerated flow and
effective orifice area (EOA) continues to pose a challenge. We developed a method of …
