(A) Box-plot and association between maximal stenosis class, visually scored on contrast-enhanced MR angiography (CE-MRA), and pulse wave velocity (PWV) sampled in the descending aorta. Correlation was expressed by Spearman correlation 0.63 (p<0.001); (B) Association between mean vessel wall (VW) area per slice sampled in the common carotid artery, indexed for body surface area (BSA), and PWV. Correlation was expressed by Pearson correlation 0.48 (p=0.002); (C) Box-plot and association between maximal stenosis class and mean vessel wall (VW) area indexed for BSA. Correlation was expressed by Spearman correlation 0.43 (p=0.005).
