NON-INVASIVE ASSESSMENT OF MYOCARDIAL PERFUSION IN ELDERLY MEN: THE IMPACT OF AORTIC STIFFNESS AND CENTRAL BLOOD PRESSURE

The Vicorder was used to assess carotid to femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) and brachial waveforms from which central blood pressure was derived using a transfer function and SEVR calculated as diastolic pressure time integral / systolic pressure time integral).
