Proximal aortic stiffness modifies the relationship between heart rate and backward wave and hence central arterial pulse pressure

AimsA lower heart rate (HR) increases central blood pressure through enhanced backward wave pressures (Pb). We aimed to determine whether these relationships are modified by increases in aortic stiffness.MethodsUsing non-invasive central pressure, aortic velocity and diameter measurements in the out...
