Purpose: To validate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessment of aortic pulse wave velocity (PWVMRI) with PWV determined from invasive intra-aortic pressure measurements (PWVINV) and to test the reproducibility of the measurement by MRI.Materials and Methods: PWVMRI Was compared with PWVINV in 18 nonconsecutive patients scheduled for catheterization for suspected coronary artery disease. Reproducibility of PWVMRI was tested in 10 healthy volunteers who underwent repeated measurement of PWVMRI at a single occasion. Velocity-encoded MRI was performed on all participants to assess PWVMRI in the total aorta (Ao(total)), the proximal aorta (Ao(prox)), and the distal aorta (Ao(dist)).Results: The results are expressed as mean +/- SD, Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC), and intraclass correlation (ICC). Good agreement between PWVMRI and PWVINV was found for Ao(total) (6.5 +/- 1.1 m/s vs. 6.1 +/- 0.8 m/s; PCC = 0.53), Ao(prox) (6.5 +/- 1.3 m/s vs. 6.2 +/- 1.1 m/s: PCC = 0.69) and for Ao(dist) (6.9 +/- 1.1 m/s vs. 6.1 +/- 1.0 m/s; PCC = 0.71) Reproducibility Of PWVMRI was high for Aototal (4.3 +/- 0.5 m/s vs. 4.6 +/- 0.7 m/s; ICC = 0.90, P < 0.01), Ao(prox) (4.3 +/- 0.9 m/s vs. 4.7 +/- 1.0 m/s; ICC = 0.87, P < 0.01), and Ao(dist) (4.3 +/- 0.6 m/s vs. 4.4 +/- 0.8 m/s: ICC = 0.92, P < 0.01).Conclusion: MRI assessment of aortic pulse wave velocity shows good agreement with invasive pressure measurements and can be determined with high reproducibility.
