Reflection of the pulse wave during the systolic period leads to an increase in left ventricular workload (black upward arrows) and a decrease in the diastolic pressure (black downward arrows). Reflection of the pulse wave during the diastolic period leads to a decrease in ventricular workload and an increase in diastolic pressures.
