Correlations between indexed diameter and several 4D-Flow parameters at all aortic locations collectively. AA1, proximal to first aortic branch; ELindex, peak systolic viscous energy loss indexed to left ventricular outflow tract net flow; MAA, mid-ascending aorta; PDsys, peak systolic pressure drop; R, correlation coefficient; SOV, sinuses of Valsalva; WSSavg, circumference-averaged wall shear stress. ∗P < 0.05, ∗∗P < 0.01.
