We have searched to define the major arterial parameters that determine aortic systolic (Ps)
and diastolic (Pd) pressure in the dog. Measured aortic flows were used as input to the 2 …

The goal of the study was to define the major arterial parameters that determine aortic
systolic (Ps) and diastolic (Pd) pressure in the dog. Measured aortic flows were used as …

The pulsatile component of blood pressure (ie, pulse pressure) has received considerable
attention as an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. In particular, central blood …

We examined the ability of a simple reduced model comprising a proximal characteristic
impedance linked to a Windkessel element to accurately predict central pulse pressure (PP) …

Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is estimated at the brachial artery level by adding a fraction of
pulse pressure (form factor;= 0.33) to diastolic pressure. We tested the hypothesis that a …

On the basis of the windkessel model, the stroke volume-to-aortic pulse pressure ratio
(SV/PP) has been proposed as an estimate of total arterial compliance, but recent studies …

We determined total arterial compliance from pressure and flow in the ascending aorta of
seven anesthetized dogs using the pulse pressure method (PPM) and the decay time …

Background: Pulse pressure and aortic pulse wave velocity, measures of arterial stiffness,
are both important determinants of cardiovascular risk. However, assessment of peripheral …

Objectives: In treatment of hypertension not only the pressure response is of interest, but
also the effect on arterial parameters, for example, stiffness and resistance, is essential. We …

Pulsatile pressure and flow were measured in the ascending aorta and other arteries of 22
anesthetized rabbits and 16 anesthetized guinea pigs. Pressure/flow relationships were …
