Figure 3From: Feasibility of asymmetric stretch assessment in the ascending aortic wall with DENSE cardiovascular magnetic resonanceThe relative stretch in the different quadrants in relation to the overall stretch. Both the volunteers and patients with non-dilated aortas and BAV demonstrated more asymmetric stretch around the aortic circumference. The volunteers show the greatest difference between the posterior and anterior. The non-dilated BAV, on the other hand, showed the greatest difference between the right and anterior.Back to article page
