: Data from this population-based study were analyzed and published. In these three articles, aortic pulse wave velocity, hemodynamics of the right heart, and hemodynamics of the pulmonary arteries were investigated.Accordingly, there is only minimal overlap with the submitted paper focussing on the extent of retrograde blood flow and potential retrograde embolization from the descending aorta:Harloff A, Mirzaee H, Lodemann T, Hagenlocher P, Wehrum T, Stuplich J, Hennemuth A, Hennig J, Grundmann S, Vach W.
