<p>PWV<sub>OSC</sub>: pulse wave velocity assessed by transformation of oscillometrically defined brachial pressure wave form, PWV<sub>CMR</sub>: pulse wave velocity assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance, RR<sub>sys</sub>: systolic blood pressure, RR<sub>dia</sub>: diastolic blood pressure, DC<sub>aA</sub>: distensibility coefficient of the ascending aorta, DC<sub>dA</sub>: distensibility coefficient of the descending thoracic aorta, DC<sub>abA</sub>: distensibility coefficient of the abdominal aorta, DC mean: mean DC of all three aortic levels, DC central: DC at different aortic levels calculated using central aortic pulse pressure.</p><p>Linear correlation between PWV, clinical characteristics, oscillometric measures and CMR-derived parameters.</p>
