From: Reproduction of human blood pressure waveform using physiology-based cardiovascular simulator
Clinical characteristics of the human BP waveform; (a) central aortic BP waveform formed by the overlap of forward and reflected waves, (b) changes in BP waves during propagation in the aorta, (c) definition of PWV: pressure wave propagation speed in an elastic tube, measurement of cfPWV from carotid and femoral BP wave, measurement of aPWV from central aortic BP wave, (d) changes in BP according to cardiovascular parameters including age, HR, and PR.
