Figure 1From: Increased pulse wave velocity and augmentation index after isometric handgrip exercise in patients with coronary artery diseaseStudy protocol. Baseline arterial pressure waveforms were traced at the aortic root (WAo) and external iliac artery (WIA). A submaximal target at 30% ~ 40% of maximal handgrip power was used for isometric handgrip exercise. Arterial waveforms were recorded at 1, 2, and 3 min in the aortic root and at 3 min in the external iliac artery after exercise.Back to article page
