Aortic distensibility was assessed at three levels; the ascending (Ao) and proximal descending aorta (PDA) at the level of the pulmonary artery and the abdominal aorta (AA) The abdominal cine images were piloted perpendicular to the orientation of the abdominal aorta
There were no significant differences in fasting glucose (5.2 ± 0.6 vs 4.9 ± 0.4 mmol/L, p = 0.10), cholesterol (5.0 ± 0.8 vs 5.3 ± 0.9 mmol/L, p = 0.27), systolic blood pressure (122 ± 13 vs 115 ± 10 mmHg, p = 0.10) or diastolic blood pressure (76 ± 8 vs 73 ± 8 mmHg, p = 0.09) between obese and normal weight subjects, with all measurements remaining in the normal range
