P124 Impact of Tapering on Arterial Blood Pressure Using a One-dimensional Computational Model

Aortic tapering is a known characteristic of the arterial tree affecting the development of pressure in the aorta. With tapering, the cross-sectional area of vessels decreases moving towards the periphery causing reflections to travel back to the heart. The reflection waves present in the aorta are...
