Open AccessP3.7 Impedance Mismatching Between Central And Peripheral Arteries Fails To Explain Central Pressure Augmentation: Aortic Reservoir Characteristics May Be The Prevailing Factor
It is suggested that central augmented pressure (AP) and augmentation index (AIx) are due to wave reflection from peripheral to central arterial impedance mismatching. Comparatively stiffened peripheral vascul...
