Background: We have previously shown that 3D echocardiography-derived (3DE) indices of left ventricular (LV) structure predict all-cause mortality differently in men and women [1]. However, the mechanism behind these sex differences remains unknown. We therefore examined the role of macro- and micro-vascular...

Background: The time at which reflected waves arrive at central arteries has an important influence on ventricular afterload. Current methods of estimating reflection time (RT), including zero-crossover [1], inflection-point [2], and foot methods [3], use only a single point on the pressure waveforms,...
