Abstract
Objective: Blood pressure fluctuates during diastole to create a dicrotic wave but the mechanistic origin remains poorly understood. We sought to investigate the characteristics and determinants of diastolic pressure and flow fluctuations with a focus on stiffness gradients between the central aorta and peripheral arteries. Methods: Using applanation tonometry and duplex ultrasound, pulse waveforms were recorded on the femoral artery in 592...
