Abstract
In 30 patients, simultaneous measurements of ascending aortic pressure and diameter were performed, allowing one to evaluate: (1) the influence of age, the aortic diastolic pressure, and the radius on the aortic elasticity; (2) the correlations between characteristics impedance of the aorta (Zo), systemic arterial resistance, age and diastolic aortic pressure; and (3) the importance of Zo when comparing two indices of left ventricle performance; one during isovolumic phase ([dP/dt]/Pt)max and the other during the outflow phase (maximum acceleration of aortic blood flow).Entities:
