P21 REDUCTION OF CARDIAC PRE-LOAD HAS ANTITHETICAL EFFECTS ON BLOOD PRESSURE AND ARTERIAL STIFFNESS: IS BLOOD PRESSURE THE MAIN DETERMINANT OF WITHIN-SUBJECT VARIATION IN PULSE WAVE VELOCITY?

Objective: Blood pressure (BP) is considered the most important determinant of within-subject variation in pulse wave velocity (PWV) and the possibility of altering arterial stiffness independently of BP is still a matter of debate. When investigating acute effects of a reduction in cardiac pre-load...
