PWVOSC: pulse wave velocity assessed by transformation of oscillometrically defined brachial pressure wave form, PWVCMR: pulse wave velocity assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance, RRsys: systolic blood pressure, RRdia: diastolic blood pressure, DCaA: distensibility coefficient of the ascending aorta, DCdA: distensibility coefficient of the descending thoracic aorta, DCabA: 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.
Linear correlation between PWV, clinical characteristics, oscillometric measures and CMR-derived parameters.
