Abstract
This study introduces an improved method for determining experimentally the characteristic arterial impedance and the forward and backward wave components in the carotid artery of the rabbit. This method is based on the concept of the single-pulse response, i.e., the pressure and flow responses to a single cardiac contraction. The complete forward and backwave waveforms are determined by this method.
