Empirical estimates of mean aortic pressure
... Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is estimated at the brachial artery level by adding a fraction of pulse pressure (form factor ; l 0.33) to diastolic pressure. We tested the hypothesis that a fixed form factor can also be used at the aortic root level. We recorded systolic aortic pressure (SAP) and dias ...
