Distributions of values of vascular indices for the two groups at each time point. Comparison between Sepsis and Sham: *p-value < 0.05, **p-value < 0.01, ***p-value < 0.001 (Wilcoxon rank sum test). Wilcoxon signed test: °p-value < 0.05, °°p-value < 0.01 with respect to T1, #p-value < 0.05, ##p-value < 0.01 with respect to T2, §p-value < 0.05, §§p-value < 0.01 with respect to T3 (Friedman test p-value < 0.05). τ = characteristic arterial tree time constant, cAC = carotid arterial compliance, Ea = effective elastance, SVR = systemic vascular resistance.
