P5.11 ROLE OF PRESSURE-DEPENDENT ARTERIAL OMPLIANCE IN MODULATING THE PHASE OF WAVE REFLECTIONS: IMPLICATIONS FOR LV-AS COUPLING
Background: Arterial compliance is pressure-dependent due to the nonhomogeneous composition of the arterial wall. Wall distending pressure varies within each cardiac cycle, thus arterial compliance is dynamic and time-varying within any given cycle. As compliance is a component of the pulsatile load...
