abstract：:Wave intensity (WI) is a new hemodynamic index, which is defined as (dP/dt)(dU/dt) at any site of the circulation, where dP/dt and dU/dt are the time derivatives of blood pressure and velocity, respectively. Arterial WI in normal subjects has two positive sharp peaks. The first peak occurs during early systole when a ...
