Introduction: We questioned whether a single Windkessel (WK) adequately describes the circulation by estimating the radial arterial diastolic pressure-decay constant (tau) and combining this with systemic hemodynamic and arterial stiffness measurements. Methods: In the non-invasive cardiac laboratory,...

Background: Pulse wave velocity (PWV) in large arteries is a pressure-dependent marker of arterial stiffness. The retinal vasculature provides unique access to the microcirculation. There is inconsistency between reported values of retinal PWV (rPWV). The pressure dependency of rPWV was measured in-vivo...
