2. DECELERATION TIME OF THE LEFT VENTRICULAR OUTFLOW TRACT FLOW VELOCITY: A SURROGATE DOPPLER ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC PARAMETER FOR CENTRAL PULSE PRESSURE
Background: Central pulse pressure (PP) is an independent predictor of cardiovascular outcomes. However, a Doppler echocardiographic parameter reflecting central PP and arterial stiffness is not known yet. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) flow d...
