Aortic stiffness, blood pressure progression, and incident hypertension. (2012, background): “The resulting increase in pulsatile hemodynamic load increases cardiac afterload, reduces diastolic coronary flow, and damages microcirculation, particularly in highflow organs such as the kidneys and brain.(1,2) Cross-sect ional studies have shown a strong association of aortic Author Affiliations:”
Normal values for cardiovascular magnetic resonance in adults and children (2015, methodology): “Aortic distensibility is calculated with the fallowing formula after measuring the minimum and maximum aortic cross sectional area [57]: Aortic Distensibility = (minimum area- maximum area)/ (minimum area x ΔP x 1000) where ΔP is the pulse pressure in mmHg.”
