Figure 1

In vivo PWV measurements in the descending murine aorta. Figure 1a shows a reference scan of the murine aorta and the positioning of velocity measurement slices (I: thoracic aorta, II: abdominal aorta). Arrows indicate the regions of velocity measurements (two-point TT method). Figure 1b depicts representative flow velocity waveforms of an ApoE(-/-) mouse and the regression lines that determine the pulse onset time. Only the late diastole and the early systole were recorded. This particular measurement yields a PWV = Δz/Δt = 2.6 m/s.
