Cardiac contractility is a key factor in determining pulse pressure and its peripheral amplification

BACKGROUND: Arterial stiffening and peripheral wave reflections have been considered the major determinants of raised pulse pressure (PP) and isolated systolic hypertension, but the importance of cardiac contractility and ventricular ejection dynamics is also recognised. METHODS: We examined the con...
