Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the assumption of similarity betwe en pressure and diameter-change waveforms in humans. We measured carotid ar terial pressure and diameter change, simultaneously, in six patients with h eart disease. In all patients, the carotid arterial pressure-diameter relat ionship could, in practice, be regarded as being linear.
