Hemodynamic Correlates of Late Systolic Flow Velocity Augmentation in the Carotid Artery

Background. The contour of the common carotid artery (CCA) blood flow velocity waveform changes with age; CCA flow velocity increases during late systole, and this may contribute to cerebrovascular disease. Late systolic flow velocity augmentation can be quantified using the flow augmentation index...
