Comparison of wave speed and wave intensity peaks between healthy volunteers and patients
| Variable | Volunteers(n = 15) | Patients(n = 15) | p value |
|---|---|---|---|
| c (m/s) |
5.8 ± 1.3 |
9.5 ± 2.4 |
<0.0001 |
| peak FCW (×10-5 m/s) |
11.5 ± 5.2 |
3.1 ± 2.5 |
<0.0001 |
| peak FEW (×10-5 m/s) | 1.6 ± 0.7 | 0.6 ± 0.4 | <0.0005 |
c = wave speed; FCW = forward compression wave; FEW = forward expansion wave.
