The arterial reservoir pressure increases with aging and is the major determinant of the aortic augmentation index
The augmentation index predicts cardiovascular mortality and is usually explained as a distally reflected wave adding to the forward wave generated by systole. We propose that the capacitative properties of the aorta (the arterial reservoir) also contribute significantly to the augmentation index an...
