Influence of Age and Central Hypertension on the Form Factor Needed to Estimate Mean Aortic Pressure, and Its Implications for Pulse Pressure Amplification: A Secondary Data Analysis
Aortic FF decreased with age and was lower in subjects with central hypertension. Unlike applying a fixed FF, this decline aligned with pathophysiological changes in pressure waveform and pulse pressure amplification, with potential implications for improving MAP estimation.
