Background: Although "squatting" in patients with tetralogy of Fallot is famous, the hemodynamic mechanism of the phenomenon has not been fully elucidated. To clarify the mechanism of squatting, the change in aortic pulsatile property induced by squatting was investigated.Methods: Twelve healthy young adults were enrolled in this study. The change in central pressure waveform induced by squatting was investigated using SphygmoCor (PWV Medical, Sydney, Australia).Results: The augmentation index during squatting was higher than that during standing (mean +/- SEM, 6.3 +/- 1.1 v 25.0 +/- 1.1; P
