Background: Zero flow pressure (P∞), the steady-state pressure following cardiac arrest or cessation of flow is often assumed to equal mean circulatory filling pressure (MCFP). [1] However, this assumes complete equilibration of circulatory pressures, which may not occur if there is a ‘critical closing...

Background: Arterial stiffening, occurring as part of the natural aging process of the artery, is well- established as a powerful predictor of cardiovascular disease.
