Age is associated with increases in elastic artery stiffness and pulse wave velocity, which cause profound changes in arterial pressure waves, including increases in the augmentation index (AIx) and wasted left ventricular (LV) energy. We examined the impact of aging on the central blood pressure (BP) waveform and wave reflection responses during exercise.
