2.5 DOES WAVE REFLECTION PROTECT THE MICROVASCULATURE FROM HIGH PULSE PRESSURE?
Background: Wave reflection (caused by a stiffness increase from large to small arteries) has been considered to protect against high microvasculature Pulse Pressures (mPP) (1). However, according to transmission line theory, Transmission (T) and Reflection (R) coefficients are proportional (T = 1+R...
