P167 PULSE PRESSURE AMPLIFICATION AND AUGMENTATION INDEX CHANGE IN OPPOSITE MANNER WITH ARTERIAL STIFFNESS INDEPENDENTLY OF SYSTEMIC RESISTANCE
Background: Pulse Pressure Amplification (PPA) is the increase in Pulse Pressure (PP) from proximal to distal arteries. The Augmentation Index (AIx) is the secondary increase in aortic pressure in systole relative to PP. With aging and increased arterial stiffness the PPA decreases while the AIx inc...
