The Effects of Hemodynamic Changes on Pulse Wave Velocity in Cardiothoracic Surgical Patients

Figure 2

The relationship between PWV and BP. Each line indicates a simple linear regression line within subject. (a) The relationship between PWV and SBP. (b) The relationship between PWV and MAP. (c) The relationship between PWV and DBP. (d) The relationship between PWV and PP. The median (IQR) slope and the median (IQR) P value are presented in each graph. BP: blood pressure, DBP: diastolic blood pressure, IQR: interquartile range, MAP: mean arterial pressure, PP: pulse pressure, PWV: pulse wave velocity, and SBP: systolic blood pressure.
