Arterial Hemodynamics in Prehypertensives

Figure 1

Representative plots of aortic pressure and its forward and backward components from one beat during baseline (Bas) and after propranolol (Pro) of one patient from the N subgroup and one from the P subgroup. The corresponding (mmHg), (mmHg), and / values for each beat are as follows: NBas: 37.9, 17.4, and 0.46; PBas: 34.0, 18.3, and 0.54; NPro: 36.3, 17.6, and 0.48; PPro: 34.7, 21.8, and 0.63.
