It is unclear whether the stiffened arterial tree in systolic hypertension is the cause or the effect of the disease. In this study, brachial and radial arterial pulses were sensed by external Pixie transducers and measurements of pulse wave velocity converted to volume distensibility using the Bramwell-Hill equation. Blood pressure was controlled as a variable by repeating the measurements at a variety of transmural arterial pressures. This was accomplished by encasing the forearm in a rigid plastic cylinder within which pressures were varied. |
