2.2 RE-REFLECTION OF BACKWARD PROPAGATING WAVES LEADS TO AMPLIFICATION OF THE FORWARD PRESSURE WAVE IN WAVE SEPARATION ANALYSIS

Introduction: In wave separation analysis, the pressure wave is decomposed into a single forward and backward component, which actually compounds all forward and backward propagating waves. We hypothesize that, in particular in presence of early reflections as in aortic coarctation, re-reflection of...
