Our purpose was to estimate volume and flow rate parameters related to the backward flow in the ascending aorta (AA) using phase-contrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance (PC-CMR) and to evaluate their relationships with age and with well established arterial stiffness indices including wave reflection parameters in an asymptomatic group without overt cardiovascular disease.
