Abstract

BACKGROUND: Left ventricular ejection time (LVET) measured in central arteries is modified during hypovolemia. We compared modifications of the pulse wave in a central artery (carotid) and in a peripheral artery (digital) during central hypovolemia induced by lower body negative pressure (LBNP) in c...
