Relationship between Stroke Volume and Pulse Pressure during Blood Volume Perturbation: A Mathematical Analysis

Arterial pulse pressure has been widely used as surrogate of stroke volume, for example, in the guidance of fluid therapy. However, recent experimental investigations suggest that arterial pulse pressure is not linearly proportional to stroke volume. However, mechanisms underlying the relation betwe...
