Group average (mean ± SE for N = 22) of (A) diastolic and systolic BP, (B) scale PTT and conventional PAT, (C) PEP, and (D) arm PTT for each baseline period and intervention. In contrast to conventional PAT, scale PTT was able to correctly track the BP changes on average mainly due to the elimination of PEP but perhaps also due to mitigation of the impact of smooth muscle contraction following the CP intervention.
