PWIP in the carotid artery of a healthy volunteer, using wall dispalcements from two primary pulses (PP1 and PP2) and two dicrotic notches (DN1 and DN2). Panel A: The PWIP (blue) indicates a gradual increase in compliance approaching the carotid bifurcation. Panel B: Inlet pressure BC estimate for each pulse. Panels C and D: Wall displacements for each primary pulse (PP1 and PP2), and dicrotic notch (DN1 and DN2). The final PWIP model dispalcements (D) were a good match to the measured displacements (C), despite the highly simplified reflection condition which was assumed at the carotid bifurcation.
