P46 ELONGATION OF THE PROXIMAL AORTA DURING THE CARDIAC CYCLE PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE ESTIMATION OF AORTIC COMPLIANCE

Background and Aims: Arterial volume compliance is a major determinant of cardiac afterload. More than 50% of the arterial volume compliance resides in the proximal aorta. Researchers often use area compliance for the estimation of volume compliance, assuming an invariant vessel length over pressure...
