Abstract
Background— Coronary blood flow peaks in diastole when aortic blood pressure has fallen. Current models fail to completely explain this phenomenon. We present a new approach—using wave intensity analysis—to explain this phenomenon in normal subjects and to evaluate the effects of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
