Abstract

Using noninvasive piezopulsometry, the dynamic structure of the arterial pressure waveform was studied upon exposure of the human cardiovascular system to short-term hypoxia. A strained breath-hold (SBH) after deep inspiration was used to induce short-term hypoxia. The pulse wave velocity (PWV) was reduced by 8% during a SBH. The arterial stiffness was observed to significantly decrease during a SBH.
