Aortic stiffness is an important predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Non-invasive measurement of aortic stiffness is a promising challenge for echocardiography. The most important limitation of previous studies was that regional differences for aortic stiffness were not taken into consideration. In our patient, we demonstrated the usefulness of real-time three-dimensional echocardiography in assessment of regional aortic stiffness.
主动脉僵硬度是心血管疾病发病率和死亡率的重要预测指标。主动脉僵硬度的无创测量对超声心动图来说是一项充满前景的挑战。以往研究最重要的局限性在于未考虑主动脉僵硬度的区域差异。在我们的患者中，我们证明了实时三维超声心动图在评估局部主动脉僵硬度方面的实用性。
