Aortic characteristic impedance-induced increases in forward wave but not central arterial pulse pressure beyond brachial blood pressure in coronary artery disease
Increases in stiffness-associated proximal aortic Zc in patients with CAD translate into increases in Pf, but not peak PPc, beyond brachial BP. Hence, the pulsatile load responsible for CAD is beyond brachial BP and poorly indexed by PPc.
