Figure 1From: Validation of the pulse decomposition analysis algorithm using central arterial blood pressure Sketch of the aorta/arm complex arterial system and its effect on the arterial pressure pulse line shape that is observed at the radial/digital artery. Two reflection sites, one at the height of the renal arteries, the other one in the vicinity of the iliac bifurcation, give rise to the reflected pulse (gray) that trail the primary left ventricular ejection (black).Back to article page
