The variation in pulse pressure throughout the arterial tree is likely to be clinically important because the heart, coronary and carotid arteries are influenced by central, not peripheral blood pressure. Indeed, it is central blood pressure that determines left ventricular workload [6] and correlat ...

Cardiac Responses to Increased Afterload

The advantages of this criterion is that the impedance depends exclusively on the characteristics (i.e., resistance, compliance, and geometry) of the external system into which the ventricle must ...

Abstract—Brachial blood pressure is predictive of cardiovascular outcome; however central pressure may better represent the load imposed on the coronary and cerebral arteries and thereby bear a stronger relationship to vascular damage and prognosis.
