Following publication of the original article [1], the author reported the the arrow in Fig. 1D is slightly misplaced. It should be as presented below.

Fig. 1.

Pulse waves from the brachial (A) and aortic (B‐D) arteries in a female teenager. A Peripheral pulse wave (measured). SBPp and DBPp = Peripheral systolic and diastolic blood pressure; PPp = Peripheral pulse pressure. B Central pulse wave (calculated). SBPc and DBPc = Central systolic and diastolic blood pressure; PPc = Central pulse pressure; PPA = Pulse pressure amplifcation (PPp / PPc). C Pf = Forward or ejection wave; Pb = Backward or refection wave; RC – Refection coefficient. D P1 = First systolic peak; P2 = Second systolic peak, AP = Augmentation pressure (P2 – P1), AIx@75 = Augmentation index corrected for a heart rate of 75 bpm
