P54 Age-specific, Pressure-independent Acute Changes in Carotid-femoral Pulse Wave Velocity During Head-up Tilt

P54 Age-specific, Pressure-independent Acute Changes in Carotid-femoral Pulse Wave Velocity During Head-up Tilt

Introduction: Acute, gravity-induced blood pressure (BP) changes during head-up tilt may generate concomitant variations in carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV). We aimed to separate the pressure-dependent and -independent components of cf-PWV changes observed during head-up tilt. Methods:...
