Influence of Age and Central Hypertension on the Form Factor Needed to Estimate Mean Aortic Pressure, and Its Implications for Pulse Pressure Amplification: A Secondary Data Analysis
Background Mean aortic pressure (MAP) plays a pivotal role in both cardiovascular dynamics and the noninvasive estimation of systolic aortic pressure. MAP can be estimated by adding a fraction of the pulse pressure (PP) to the diastolic aortic pressure, known as the form factor (FF=100×[MAP−diastoli...
