Measurements
of arterial compliance may provide clinically valuable information about
the state of the cardiovascular system. These measurements may be useful
in evaluating changes in the structural and functional components of the
arterial wall. However, evaluation of arterial compliance measurements
may be complicated by the dependent relationship with arterial blood pressure.
Therefore, this study evaluates the relation between arterial compliance
and blood pressure to better understand the time dependent control of blood
pressure and the relation between arterial structure and function.
