Objective:Stiffening of the aorta often precedes coronary events, but little is known about the aetiological mechanism. We hypothesized that the predisposition to myocardial ischemia could be attributable to aortosclerosis-induced alterations in the central haemodynamics during diastole.Methods:Using noninvasive tonometry and ultrasonography, we investigated the arterial pressure pulse waveforms, pulse wave velocities (PWVs) and compliance in 222 patients with hypertension. The diastolic pressure decay was quantified by fitting a mono-exponential curve as P(t)= P(0)e(-t) [: decay index; P-0: end-systolic pressure; t: time from end-systole]. The myocardial oxygen supply/demand balance was estimated from the subendocardial viability index (SVI).Results:The aortic pressure decay fit to an exponential curve significantly (R-2=0.980.02) and more closely than the radial pressure decay (P
