Background: The duration of the time segment between the systolic (SP) and post-dicrotic notch peak pressures (PDP) of the arterial pressure wave in humans has been proposed to be related to arterial pulse pressure (PP).1,2 We considered an effect of RR-interval length on the diastolic pressure run-off and tested the hypothesis that heart rate (HR) affects the timing of systolic and post-dicrotic notch peak pressures.

Methods: We modelled the effects of sympathetic stimulation by progressive central hypovolemia on PP changes based on morphological features of a peripherally measured arterial blood pressure wave shape and HR, making use of linear mixed effect (LME) models. Changes of the arterial pulse wave were tracked from rest towards central hypovolemia in 44 subjects by exposing them to continuous –50 mmHg lower body negative pressure (LBNP). SP and PDP, and HR were extracted from arterial finger pressure and used as model input to predict PP.

Results: From rest to sympathetic stimulation, HR (30%) and thoracic impedance (15%) increased and systolic (SAP) fell by 10%. Model errors of PP (median, and 1stand 3rd quartiles) were 5.2 [3.3 8.9], 4.9 [3.8 7.7], and 4.9 [3.7 8.6] for LME models of, respectively, SP-PDP, HR and their combination.

Conclusion: Our study highlights that during sympathetic stimulation by progressive central hypervolaemia, HR affects arterial pressure wave characteristics and that linear models from both HR and SP-PDP duration allow for estimating PP.
