3.5 HEART RATE DEPENDENCE OF REGIONAL AND LOCAL AORTIC PULSE WAVE VELOCITY IN RATS AS A FUNCTION OF BLOOD PRESSURE

Background: Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is quantified by time difference of arrival of the blood pressure (BP) wave at two sites along the arterial bed (transit time; TT-PWV), or by combining measured arterial pressure and diameter using the Bramwell-Hill equation (BH-PWV). Besides the dependence of P...
