Importance of the aortic reservoir in determining the shape of the arterial pressure waveform – The forgotten lessons of Frank

It has been recognised for nearly 200 years that the human pressure waveform changes in shape with ageing and disease. The shape of the pressure waveform has been explained in terms of two fundamental models: the Windkessel (reservoir) and wave theory. In its simplest form the Windkessel model satis...
