4.4 Arterial Stiffness can be Modulated by Pressure-Independent Mechanisms in Hypertension

Background: Effects of short-term interventions on large artery stiffness assessed by pulse wave velocity (PWV) have mainly been explained by concomitant changes in blood pressure (BP). However, lower body negative pressure (LBNP), which increases sympathetic activity (SA) has a specific effect on P...
