Differences in pulse pressure day variability between the brachial artery and the aorta in healthy subjects

Objectives: To search for: (i) potential differences in the within-subject pulse pressure (PP) day time variability between the brachial artery and aorta; (ii) the presence of substantial day time variation in the aortic-to-brachial (AtB) PP disparity. Background: Brachial blood pressure (BP) varia...
