Arterial waveform and central blood pressure: The complex links between large and small arteries

Arterial wave reflections (AWR) are determined by arterial pulse wave velocity (PWV), the distribution and distance of the reflection points (RP) from the heart and the magnitude of these reflections. Pulse waves are reflected at sites of changing impedance. Substantial changes in impedance occur at...
